More on the hardscrabble life of David Copperfield Barack Obama, from those evil capitalists at the Wall Street Journal:
Obama Stresses His Roots To Deflect ‘Elitist’ Tag
A Single Mother And Food Stamps Brought Into Focus
By NICK TIMIRAOS and AMY CHOZICK
April 16, 2008; Page A4WASHINGTON, Pa. — Barack Obama is talking up the fact that his single mother was once on food stamps and that he only recently paid off student loans — part of a full-court press to avoid being painted by Hillary Clinton and Republicans as an elite liberal…
The adjustments in campaign personas come in the wake of Sen. Obama’s comments about small-town America that he now says he “mangled.” …
Sen. Obama has stressed his humble upbringing as part of his argument that the uproar is nothing more than politics. “This is what we do politically when we start getting behind in races,” he said at a town hall forum Tuesday…
On the stump, Sen. Obama has begun reminding audiences that his single mother was on food stamps, that he attended a private high school on a scholarship and that he paid off law-school student loans with his wife, Michelle, just six years ago. “I know what it’s like to see a mother get sick and worry that maybe she can’t pay the bills,” he said at a building-trade conference in Washington on Tuesday.
“I didn’t have a trust fund,” he told newspaper executives on Monday.
Sen. Obama also noted that the three-bedroom condominium he and his wife lived in for the first 13 years of their marriage didn’t have a garage. “If you live in Chicago, that means you’re scraping ice every morning,” he said…
Imagine the hardship of having to attend Hawaii’s top private school on a scholarship. Imagine having to pay off student loans for Occidental, Columbia, Princeton and Harvard Law.
Just try to imagine life without a trust fund. Imagine living in a three bedroom condominium without a garage.
To paraphrase Mr. Oscar Wilde, “one must have a heart of stone to read of Mr. Obama’s struggles without laughing.”
But it is funny how none of these personal travails were ever mentioned in either of Mr. Obama’s autobiographies.

“his single mother ”
Come on BO, stop the BS, your mother was divorced and remarried and divorced. If she were single she should be called a slut.

I am confused . . .He was an attorney from ‘93 to ‘02 - of course he also was a community activist or a community organizer too - then he was in the IL Senate (96 -04) and then the US Senate (04 to present) and all this while Ms O was an attorney (89 - 93), and Executive Director for Chicago office of Public Allies (93-96), at the University of Chicago (96-02), Unversity of Chicago Hospital (02-05) and then the Executive Director of the UofC Hospital (05 to present). . .and amidst this two income family (both attorneys) they just managed to pay off ’school loans’ in 2002 (this after his Dreams book in 95?) Actually his autobiography says they paid off their debts in 2005. . .of course then immediately going out and buying a 1.5 mil house. . .
These people can’t manage money, they can’t tell the truth and they cant hold a job - exactly what are his qualifications for POTUS again?

“your mother was divorced and remarried and divorced.”
According to Mr. Obama himself, it is not clear whether his father ever married his father.
So the divorce is probably also in question.

I’ve cleaned manure out of a pickup truck bed and picked rocks out of horses’ hooves…so does that qualify me to be president?

This might end the confusion. “I am confused . . .He was an attorney from ‘93 to ‘02″
Obamas as Civil Rights Attorney? Complete Zero, Utter Joke.

Yes SG there is some questions as to whether dear old dad even bothered to divorce his first wife before marrying (if he did) his second wife - or was this one of those ‘convenience’ marriages (isn’t that what they call them)?
As I said, these people can’t tell the truth and in this case - Barry’s - it appears to be a paternally genetic trait.

Obama’s dad was also teh ghey? Just kidding of course, obviously typed in the heat of battle… ;o)

Ok…somewhere I read - could even have been here - that Obama did not pay the bills for his mother when she was in the hospital in NYC, dying of cancer. That may be incorrect, but when _was_ she in the hospital with bills to pay? How did they get paid?

Excuse me, but isn’t Obama’s house payment paid from a personal trust?
But now I know I am qualified to be POTUS. I lived in a two bedroom, third floor flat during my first year of marriage. But because I am part of the “privileged” crowd, after my first child was born we moved into a one bedroom, second floor apartment. I don’t know anyone who lived in a three bedroom anything when they were first married. For one thing, a couple doesn’t need that much room unless he needed a place to hide from his overly Marxist wife.
Now we learn that Obama’s destitute mother was on food stamps. But I would like to know when. There is a possibility that if she was, she was scamming the system. He was born in 1961 but his mother could not get food stamps then because a) she was married and b) they were not available then. Then he moved to a foreign country. I don’t think that we were sending food stamps to foreign nations. When she moved back in 1965, food stamps were not available in Hawaii in 1965. In 1967, she married the second time and moved to Jakarta. Nope, no food stamps then. By the time she moved back once again, he was living with his grandparents who had jobs and food stamps were not being handed out like Holloween candy in those years. It would be interesting if someone did a FOI request to see if his mother ever collected food stamps. Since she is deceased, it should be no problem. But my guess? It is all bullcrap.
But Obama has to show us just want an “average” “normal” American he is living off food stamps and relying on a scholarship to go to the most exclusive prep school in Honolulu. And yeah, he may have gone to two universities that most Americans can only dream of sending their kids to, but what about those pesky student loans. Nevermind that he was a practicing attorney, as was his wife, and they had lots of expenses (you know to go to one of Tony Rezko’s parties you just have to have a custom made tuxedo) so better to stiff the taxpayers for a while instead of paying off your student loans.
Jeeze, this guy is such a phoney, I also noticed he hasn’t been going to church lately and you know that if it is Sunday, you will find the Democrat candidates in some African American church.

Lots of people who live in Chicago don’t have garages. Relatively few have three-bedroom condos. And what did Barry need a car for anyway? He worked downtown and lived near a commuter train line. Parking downtown on weekdays costs a mint. If he was driving to work, he could have used that money to rent a garage near his condo and taken the train.

I’ve lived in apartments (in frozen Massachusetts) all my adult life. As a matter of fact, I’m currently in a basement apt. next to an interstate, and it has termites! (Seriously, because I’m paying college tuition for my son.) I feel that when the one-world gov’t is instituted, I am qualified to be president of the world!

Too Bad, So Sad! LMAO I guess he walked to school in the snow uphill both ways! Even in the summer time since they didn’t have Global Warming back then! ;-)

A scholarship to the private high school? Maybe a partial scholarship.
I thought Grandma paid the tuition, after Grandpa’s alumnus boss intervened to have Barack admitted. That’s what it says in David Mendell’s book about Obama.
