The article claims that they did not meet in high school..but ‘since’. What is that suppose to mean? How long have they known each other? The media in this country is unbelievable. If you are going to report that they went to high school together..don’t you think you would nail down the time frame in which they actually met?

The American Media: When they are not being corrupt and biased, they are just plain incompetent and stupid.

Obama worked to fit in at elite school

Obama Overcame Outsider Feelings to Fit in at Elite Private High School

In a state that defines people by the high school they attended, Hawaii’s public school students often view Punahou graduates as elitist and scoff at them even into adulthood.

Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, reminded voters before Hawaii’s recent Democratic caucus that Obama went to Punahou, which he said “was not a school for the impoverished.”

Inouye, 37 years older than Obama and a graduate of public McKinley High School down the hill from Punahou, is supporting Obama’s rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the Democratic presidential race.

Obama shot back that he attended the school on a scholarship and was raised by a single mom and grandmother.

“Shame on Danny for trying to pull that stunt,” he said.

Punahou was not a big school. We had 1 black in our high school graduating class of abt 250 in 1974. Everyone in all grades who didn’t know him knew who he was....I’m sure it was no different in Hawaii.
