When a person has a black and white parent, they always claim blackness. I guess it doesn’t work that way if you’re “white Hispanic.”

It does for one pair of our great nieces, who claim to be Hispanic, "Mexican" even. Their paternal grandparents were both born in Texas, don't know how much farther back that Texas thang goes for them. I have one friend for whom it goes back to the 1600s. Only it was part of New Spain in those days. The great nieces' grandmother sounds just like the wife of that friend of mine. Looks a little similar too, but her father immigrated, legally, during WWII. (He was a barber on a Naval Air Station from then until he retired)

I also have a niece and nephew who have one black, with a touch of American Indian, parent, and one white parent. I think she thinks of herself as Black, but acknowledges that she's "yellow". I don't think her brother thinks of himself as anything but himself. His girlfriend is blond, but she too has a touch American Indian, in common with many an Oklahoman.

1991 to 2002 (8 years ago) Eight years ago was 2004, thus 13 years.

Eight years ago

Just when he "popped" onto the national scene....little house cleaning....

(I highly doubt they had any loans)

I think back farther than 8 years ago they both had at least six figure incomes.

Once again, Obama is Obama’s favorite subject. It’s always about him no matter what the topic. The Narcissist-in-Chief.

Sounds like a valuable “hook” for some Conservative investigative Journalist to “look into the validity” of Obama’s claim. Thus cracking open a door to Obama’s past history.

Prove it. Let's see the college tuition bills and payment receipts. (In fact, show anything that proves he was even enrolled in the college.)

Exactly! Show us the college tuition "loans" you AND Moochelle both had and paid off...yourselves.

I'll believe it when I see it.

His typical white grandmother was the VP of a bank. His grandparents were much more his family than their daughter was. he also went to a prestigious private school in Hawaii.

She became VP in 1970 and retired in 1986, so that would have meant high income during Obama's high school and college years.

Grandpa's a bit of a mystery. He went to work for Pratt's, a furniture store in the Honolulu area. He left them in 1967 and the branch closed in 1973.

So what was he doing later on? Was he a house husband? Some say he was a CIA operative, but you don't go from a quarter century selling furniture to being a spy. If he did have a job, that would also make a contribution to his grandson's tuition bills.

So he was in default on those loans for 20 years before he paided it off? Only in america.

*******

I wonder how much newly graduated Obama paid on his Colombia and Occidental loans between the time he graduated from Columbia and the time he entered Harvard a few years later.

I bet it wasn't very much if he paid anything at all.

I wonder if he told Columbia financial officials that he had an outstanding loan at Occidental, and I wonder if he told Harvard about his Occidental and Columbia loans.

The loans at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard must have been huge, because there is no record that Obama worked at a job during his college years.

And living in expensive New York could not have been cheap for Obama while he was a young undergraduate at Columbia.

In my opinion, President Obama has unexpectedly and dangerously raised more questions about how he financed his college education.

I bet Obama now wishes that he had never brought up the subject about his college loans in his recent speech at the University of North Carolina, because he now realizes that reporters will surely pressure him to answer in more detail this question: How did you pay for your studies at 3 different colleges?

The elite school Obama went to in HI is $18,000 a year today, looks like a college campus. He tried to create a picture of a the poor struggling childhood and student.

He has no proof of the loans, but has proved to be very good at lies.

See! That's why I don't correct misspellings. It only gets uglier. But your response is too funny and gave me my first real laugh of the day at myself for trying and absolutely failing at being the spelling police. Many LOL'S!

Not a problem, it simply implies he had a substantial amount of income in those years working for a charity of Churches when he only became “Christian” in 1988 and then worked to become a “community organizer” before going to law school.

Those substantial incomes, even if they were gifts, are surely reported on his income tax returns, along with the payments of those Boston tickets.
