Oh please. Obama went to private high school (from 5th grade onward) in Hawaii, his grandmother was a VP at the Bank of Hawaii, his own teenage mom was rich enough to leave him in Hawaii with grandma and grandpa as she went to the University of Washington, his stepdad moved his mom and young Barack to Indonesia, where he also attended private school, and after graduating from his private HS, he went to three separate private universities in Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard. Yep, Obama is just a poor child who had nothing until 12 years ago. Good God.
If the letter is true, I think it accurately portrays a feeling among people in the Obama economy of a deep sense of frustration. First, the new jobs were primarily minimum wage and now those are going to part time due to the punitive aspects of Obamacare. College grads aren't getting jobs like they did 7 and 8 years ago and I sense sincere concern from people of the low to middle income earners.
I forgot the part where Obama's grandma was able to leave Barack ~$500k alone in Bank of Hawaii stock when she unfortunately passed, let alone the value of her estate and other savings. A regular kid from the projects, that Barry is.
So obama was buying his kids food when he was going to a private high school, huh? she was talking about the choices she's had to make as an adult. He didn't get things handed to him, and it's not like he was rolling in cash as a community organizer (for fucks sake people, if you're going to use that as a battle cry against him, you can't all the sudden act like it means he made loads of money and never struggled with paying bills.
Community Organizer is one of the biggest scams on earth. Huge money-laundering scheme with ties to Chicago Street Gangs.
LOL OK. Yes, Barry was living on the mean streets of Chicago, and completely unaffiliated with the Chicago Democratic machine. He didn't work as a lawyer, either, for a huge Dem firm (doing pro bono work, of course wink wink), or work at all with Daley proteges Axelrod and Jarrett. One would think you might want to actually research things before you slam a single mother who claims she voted for Obama twice, and now feels duped.
it's strange that you bring up things that have nothing to do with anything, or are things I didn't say. actually, it's not strange. That's your M.O. So congrats on winning the internet.
He did "pro bono" work. Because he liked to work for free, and wasn't at all supported by the Dem machine.
Thank you. Congrats for buying the steaming bunch of bullshit that is peddled as Barry's "poor" Chicago years.
Because you support him you must refuse to see the division he has created in this country. I know of many that would not weep at his death
when you copy and paste "information" from one of those talking points websites, it appears as though you are knowledgeable about a subject.
So, from where did I copy/paste the information that I posted? Please share. Do you know of a different biography about Obama? Or, are you just pulling stuff out of your asshole, and then posting it on this board about what I know/don't know? Answer these questions in a yes/no manner. 1) Was his grandmother made a VP of the Bank of Hawaii in 1970? 2) Did Obama go to private schools from 5th grade until he got his J.D. at Harvard? 3) Did you work for a large law-firm in Chicago upon graduation from Harvard Law? You can even cut/paste the answers, if you need to do so. Based on what appears to be your limited grasp of Barry's upbringing, it might actually help.
her letter wasn't addressing his upbringing, so I'm not sure why you are. Actually, as I said earlier, I know why.
Mags, she didn't say anything about ever voting for Obama or being anything other than a stupid redneck. You said she was black, she's not. You said she used to be with Obama even though she explicitly said she did not vote for Obama. You need to learn to read brother, this is just sad.
