I'm in Hawaii and I decided to see where the "Great One" went to school.  Thinking he's was poor and his Grandmother worked in a Bank.  Well, today the cost to go to that school is $16,000 a year.

So if you think he was raised in the poor house, you're sadly mistaken, he's just like EVERY other politician.  He just used what he has to get elected...............Oh and let's not forget Harvard too.

Not necessarily a moot point.
Yes, his grandparents put him in a private school.
They then paid for his education at Occidental College.
Harvard, that is called student loans, which he himself paid for.
No one denies he got a great education, which, I should add, says more about the person because it is no easy task.
Yes, that's right, it takes discipline and hard work, especially at Harvard.
You and many others have made remarks about blacks to quit complaining, that they have the opportunity to do what they want to make something of themselves.
Well, that is what Obama did, now you want to condemn him for it? Now you want to act as though he had a silver spoon in his mouth? Hardly.
The first 10yrs of his life are what shaped him, what shapes all of us. Those are the years in which we are molded, figuratively. That isn't my opinion, by the way, that is lifespan and human development information. Where were those first 10yrs spent? No, I am not making an argument that he was some poor ghetto child, but initially he certainly didn't have it like most did.

D_L,

NO, were did I condemn him? Tell me in this blog where I condemn him? Like what you say, I'll wait for your answer!!

First 10 years? He didn't live in this Country for most of those 10 years. You say the first 10 years? What school did he attend then? I know, do you? And I think you don't want to answer that question or you will get the Muslim response from others on here.

The point of this blog D_L, was to show you that ALL POLITICAINS not just Obama had higher education. But it's funny you can't answer how it was paid for going to this private school here in Hawaii. You have to be accecepted to this school, you think Obama was just a regular kid as he claims? LOL

Then his wife claiming they now have 5 silver spoons instead of four kind of supports this post's direction. I would have traded lifestyles anytime in regards to his upbringing. According to his own words in debates and on TV, he claimed he & his family struggled as a child growing up wherever. Jeez, if that's struggling, may most "poor, struggling" Americans suffer like that! It does seem as most politicians play the bleeding hearts role in regards to their upbringing, IMO. Or was he just a "poor upper class kid"???? LOL.

Obama was a regular kid. Kids don't really have a choice in that. Just because Bush was raised by the elite doesn't mean Bush wasn't a regular kid.

Obama's childhood is very similar to all of our childhoods in more ways than it differed.

Was the point of this blog Obama went to school, so he wasn't poor?

As I saw it Earl, it pointed out that politicians do tend to lean towards the lean times they may never have had to drum up election support. More power to them if they had a decent upbringing but I believe making themselves look poor & deprived dosen't cut it with me. I went to school & my family was poor back then too, actually being raised with Food Stamps when my dad (RIP) was layed off; But I wouldn't parade it as a significant event in my life to get votes neither, like Mr. Obama & his wife did on worldwide TV. No anger here mind you, just speaking on what was stated by them and what is actually the truth in regards to his upbringing. It does seem to apply to most when seeking election, etc.

Obama lacked a father, that by definition is a cup half-empty. Your father was there for you even when he was laid off.

When a person runs for office, the public wants to know about him.

I was shocked when I found out Obama's mother was white, and he didn't know his father.

That is very important to the development of a child. As an elected official, I want to see how he frames his own climb to success.

Bush had nothing to lean on except his families wealth and influence. I guess that is why you didn't hear Bush lean on his humble childhood, getting out of deploying in the war and having to struggle with a failing oil company.

I supported Obama because of what I heard him say, not because of his life story. I can see however, that his life story will provide him resources unknown to Bush, and from that, I have confidence in tomorrow.

Earl,

Car understood what I posted. The point is that Obama claimed that is up bringing very differently than he claimed.

On a side note, isn't funny that everybody in the United States knew what schools and even her GPA in College that Sarah Palin did, but no one knew about Obama's grades in High School or even his thesis? Interesting......

Meant to say "differently than he claimed"

Bye, go somewhere with that schooling in Indonesia bit. It has been investigated and proven, he isn't a muslim and the school wasn't a muslim teaching one. Get over it. He is a christian American. And yes, I was speaking of his living in Indonesia, not America, does that take away the fact that he lived in poverty there? No, of course it doesn't.
His grandparents paid for his education in Hawaii.
He paid for his ivy league one.
And to act as though you don't condemn him is foolish because you have continually done so. That is, afterall, the point of your attack blogs. It certainly isn't to praise him, now is it?

D_L,

Post were I condemn him!! Like I said before, I knew were he went. I didn't post it because of what you just posted.

You are the master of spin, you should be a DJ. I'll just call you DJ Spin-a-lot. It's funny you deflect the question with garbage.

So, I'll explain it to you again. Why is it a secret on how they paid for his education while his Grandmother was a bank teller. Don't know his grades. While in College, don't know his Thesis. BUT it was BIG freaking new that everyone in the Country knew Palins. That's just part of it. Almost EVERYTHING Obama has done is a Big Secret, Why is that?

Don't you say I have attack blogs, when you're the King of it. How do you know this Grandparent paid for it? Did Obama tell you?

I didn't deflect anything. And the information you are spewing is radical web reporting with no foundation at all. I did my very best to respond to the bs that was thrown during the campaign, but I cannot continually try to defend absurd accusations without merit of any kind. What would be the point?
How did McCain pay for his education? Oh, thats right, he didn't get one. [navy flight doesn't pertain to this discussion]
How did Palin pay for hers?
The questions about Obama were and are unprecedented. No other candidate put out as much information in response to ludicrous charges, not one. He shouldn't have had to, but he did, and this still wansn't enough for the conspiracy people. Give me a break.

Call me whatever you like bye, I will call you bye, as in doing so in a respectful way.
Now I am the king of attack blogs? Which would those be?
I posted blogs about stories related to Palin, I didn't attack her.
I posted blogs to defend Obama.
One blog, one, could fall into the category you seem to give me king over, and that was the AllAmerican blog. Go back and read it. It wasn't an attack in as much as it was an exposure of ignorance. That ignorance, by the way, was embraced by a few on here. That goes back to the first amendment rights we were discussing, only I don't feel that race supremacy should be hidden if its agenda is owned by someone. I called him out because he is a coward, hiding behind hate.

When I made that post, my intention was to let people know what kind of person they were dealing with. How can we learn from someones view if we don't know how they derived that view? The answer- we can't.
The fact of the matter is, that post infuriated midevil and he went on a nut. He exposed his own hate to such a degree it was laughable.

No mystery with Obama. He is our president-elect. The smears are unwarranted and unwanted. I do recall something from past elections regarding McCain and a picture that was posted with an adopted child. The spin doctors made rumors that he had a black child out of wedlock. Do you recall the response from the McCain campaign then? Should he have even been expected to respond to that smear?
Political campaigns bring out many absurd accusations that don't hold merit and they shouldn't be addressed, period. Want more examples?
