The ignorance on these threads is staggering. Calling the Kennedies "old money" just underscores how ridiculous such threads on "class" are.

The Kennedies were poor Irish immigrants. Joseph Kennedy was a crook who swindled others and used the funds to give his family an aura of respectability. Money talked then, and money talks now, but no one with a brain ever considered the Kennedies upper-class and their behavior over time has more than borne that out.

Obamas are not upper class. They almost seem out of place

But I think it will be long time before this country elects an upper class president. Class was why Romney failed

Romney failed because unfortunately he is wealthy and Obama successfully opened a campaign of class warfare. Right place at the wrong time.

I don't know what to recommend for mannerisms or social stuff, because I really don't care about that stuff.

Which is why you're not comprehending the concept of class. Class is "mannerisms and social stuff." That's why you can be filthy rich like the Kardashians, but no one would consider you upper class.

And to the poster who said "think Kennedy vs Zuckerburg..." They're both upper class. Kennedy is just older money and Zuckerburg is new money.

They made a lot of their money during Prohibition.
