I don't know who has a better idea of what happened to the regular folk in the 80s as I was kid, but what I can tell you is that Michelle Obama came from humble beginnings, attended school at Princeton, went to Harvard Law School, worked as a Hospital Executive making a good six-figure salary, and is married to a man who is two elections (the primary and general) away from becoming president. Now if this doesn't qualify as being "proud of country" more than once in your 44 years of life, I don't know what does.

"Who do you think has a better sense of what has happened to 'regular folk' since 1980? Michelle Obama or Mr. Kristol?"
Neither of them has the foggiest idea what has happened to "regular folk" since 1980.
