President Obama’s lack of self-awareness was on full display when he spoke at the Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit at Georgetown University today and criticized people who send their kids to “private schools” and “private clubs.”

A panel including Robert Putnam, professor of public policy at the Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government and Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute were discussing ways to overcome poverty. Obama stated that those who have economic advantages are withdrawing from societal common areas. He claimed those who socially separate themselves are contributing to a sluggish economy that lacks opportunity. The hypocrisy was not lost on social media users who were quick to point out Obama’s glaring hypocrisy. (Warning for strong language)

They’re going full Hitler.

Race riots + Jade Helm + TPP destroyer of sovereignty, US law-courts and Congress- + FEC, FCC media anti-Christian and conservative ethic, + ISIS attack warning and elevated threat level.

Yeah, they have a deadline for something, said something being the destruction of the US of A.

All those lives, all that blood, and all those injuries, and leaders that spit on us all.

I saw Punahou from a distance and was told in no uncertain terms that it was only for native Hawaiians. The Dunhams were not natives.

“his purported spawn...”

“purported”: exactly. I’d love it if Breitbart or Drudge found some way to get the DNA on all four of ‘em and run tests. And add Reggie Love to the mix. Maybe Reggie and Michelle are the true parents. Except that “Michelle” is actually “Michael”. Oh... that makes three men and not even one womb. My head is spinning; it’s too confusing. I’m going with the standard story that the kids were imported from Morocco as campaign stage props.

Could we ever have guessed the occupants of our White House could possibly be this trashy? Not in our wildest dreams.

I’d say this was a case of “The pot calling the kettle black”, but that would be racist.

I think that’s the Kamehameha Schools. They were set up by a couple of the former royals expressly for orphaned/indigent native Hawaiians (full or part). Punahou was started as a boarding school for kids whose parents were on mission in Asia or the Pacific, so they were and are less picky that way.

Punahou is definitely not only for native Hawaiians - as the NY Times reported back in 2009, locals refer to it as “the whites’ school,” but it is probably more accurate to call it the school for the Hawaiian elite, which excludes most native Hawaiians. You can get a sense of the demographics from the basketball team..

Yesterday `Aunty Pitty Pat’ had her pity party.
So today it’s Barry’s turn?

I complain about corrupt government officials and their detestable mooching wives who rip off the tax-payers with a multitude of mega-million dollar vacations and then over-utilize a platform to constantly rip on We The People to promote their Marxist agenda.

“HE went to a private school all the way through high school.”

The Ivy leagues schools are also considered private and not public.Harvard is considered a private school, well at least it considers itself to be a private school.

“Makes you wonder. I think he is just going after a goal....stop whitey.”

No sense in ‘wonderin’ about what you already know.
