are a class act, including the two girls. When parents set a good example then you can see it in the children. This country so desperately needs more role models like the first family. There was a time in history when being classy was a virtue and it didn't matter how much money you had, you could still be classy. Nowadays we look down our noses at people who are classy in their behavior, their dress, their manner of speaking as "elitist". Not me. As far as I'm concerned we can bring back celebrating people who won't stoop to that level instead of the Honey Boo Boos and Duck Dynasty and OC Choppers people who in my estimation are a poor reflection on our country. But I digress......
