The hood 

The hood is a working class area.

It can be an urban ghetto or a suburb. It depends on which country we're dealing with.
In the USA it is primary the urban ghettos that are called "the hood", but in other countries (in Europe for instance) the suburbs is actually the place, where most people from the lower social classes live. The suburbs will be the hood in these areas.

The area does not have to be dominated by apartment buildings to be called "The hood". It is all about the social class of the population.

"Ain't nothing good in the hood
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could"
- 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson)

To be a badass from the skreets, you got hood status. And damn, even Beyonce wants your nuts.

Beyonce says,
"If your status ain't hood
I ain't checkin' for him
Betta be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier"

Robama Hood 

A President who tends to take from the upper middle class and gives to those who voted for him. A classic Robin Hood-esque story. Ex - If laid off, you get free health care (unless you make over $x); If you buy a house you get $10K (unless you make over $x) etc.

President Barack Obama is a class example of a "Robama Hood".
