Full title: We had to scrape to get by': President Obama recalls his own struggles as he delivers graduation speech at revitalized New England technical school where six out of ten students are underprivileged

[FlingWingFlyer]

With all of that scraping and scratching Barry had to do, when did he ever find time to learn to play golf?

[Yorlik803]

Maybe Obama and Hilary stood in the same soup lines. Or picked thru the same dumpsters or panhandled the same streets.
They all are the most disgusting people on earth

‘There are too many politicians in Washington who don’t have the right priorities,’ he said. ‘We need to straighten them out. And maybe they forgot where they came from and who invested in them along the way.’

Ya dumbo.. start with the guy in the mirror.

Between O and Hillary, this is the new ‘I feel your pain’ approach.

[Da Coyote]

The Obamadorkthing leads the multiverse in creating the highest, smelliest, grossests pile of shi...er...Obamastuff evah!

The manboy is clearly touched in the head.

Who in the world believes this worthless POS?

[Jack Hammer]

Scraping by in Hawaii is a lot more difficult if you happen to be in Indonesia.

Or was it Kenya?

Or... where was it, exactly...?

[blueunicorn6]

Wait a minute. Wait one damn minute. You mean Obama was at a high school graduation while Iraq is going to crap? The man is clueless. Unbelievable.

[Clay Moore]

That might because he spent all his money on pot and blow...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You didn’t build that...

[Hoodat]

the President talked about the obstacles he had had to overcome as a youngster growing up in Hawaii, adding that his family at times ‘had to scrape to get by.’

Imagine the poverty of growing up in the household of a bank vice president.

[wolfman23601]

Along with about 90% of Americans that have to scrape to get by at some point or another.

This narcissist thinks everything is about him.

[grobdriver]

Obama reflected on his own struggles

It's about ME!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

“I’ve got a bracelet, too.”

Pffft.

I can recall how we had to walk 20 miles through the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways.

It was tough.

Ironically, it was only a 10-mile trek when I was in my 40s.

Mom struggled by candlelight to get her PhD in Indonesian textiles while Barry played with his tranny nanny and her wealthy husbands house servants cooked and cleaned

then the inconvenient 10 yr old shipped off to Hawaii and his rasist Toot paying his way through the very pricey and very exclusive (almost birthright entry) Punahou school where barry choomed his way to a diploma

The off to Occidental probably on a foreign student scholarship.

Then Columbia ... really? Says who?

Then Harvard Law as the first black editor of the Law Review - with no published work

yeah. life has been a struggle for barry
he deserves his own pimpmojet, his own private military base golf courses, and his pastry chef and 6 different pies every Thanksgiving and Christmas

[skeeter]

Reflecting on his own youth, Obama said the support of his teachers, family and community enabled him to finance a good education through grants and student loans. ‘All of this happened because people saw in me something that I didn't always see in myself,’

A foreign college applicant eligible for a Fulbright scholarship?

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen....
Beans don’t burn on the grill....................

I seriously doubt this. I can not understand why people like Hillary and Obama can sleep at night.
