So am I the only one cringing at the horribly-crossed construction "they're a member of an elitist-class individual"? Plural, then singular, then a phrase implying being a component of a singular object... And then the last phrase, which as I read it declares that the 'elitist-class individual' (of which Senator and Mrs. Obama are collectively 'a member') thinks that Senator and Mrs. Obama are 'uppity'. Does Rep. Westmoreland have some personal acquaintance of this 'individual'?
