Obamas To Holiday On The Vineyard?
One of my favorite beach-fiction novelists, professor Stephen Carter, comments on the rumor that the Obamas will spend their summer vacation in the Oak Bluffs part of Martha’s Vineyard. The best part of Carter’s commentary is when he says: “The Obamas evidently plan to follow the model of generations of middle-class African Americans before them…” Now, once upon a time, the Vineyard was full of middle-class families, but they haven’t been able to afford the place for years now. Methinks Professor Carter is living in an East-Coast-elite bubble.
