I wonder what job offers he turned down with “big money” as he advertises?
Pingaroo.
Gotta wonder what kind of money he was making to pay for Harvard.
You hear friends come forward to give their Obama anecdotes, but never co-workers or bosses.
It’s an excellent question. He went to work as a civil rights lawyer after law school. They can make plenty of money. He also had a two-book deal; a state legislator salary; and fees from sitting on various boards. IIRC they lived in a 450K condo before they bought the mansion.
They were well off, but according to Michelle, of modest means compared to most of her friends.
Knowing the BHO campaign, I would not be surprised if these big money offers are as real as his shock over Jeremiah Wright.
He took loans to pay for Harvard. And when he was made editor of the law review, he was contacted by a book publisher who gave him a book contract. Simply for being the first black editor of the Harvard law review.
He was probably also the first editor of Harvard Law review who never wrote a single paper himself for the publication. That didn’t matter.
I picked up a gum wrapper from the ground yesterday and put it in the trash can at Kroger.
Can I say that I single handedly improved living conditions for everyone in my town?
“Dignity” huh? They’re very big in the funeral business.

He was the first biracial editor. There are more white libs who get off on voting “black” than white racists. Don’t let him get away with that.
How does one get to be editor without writing a single paper?

One would suppose that the community Barak organized was made up of the not poor and disfranchised. Can't be having “friends” over from this demographic. Talk about elitists. Well, there is a history of the field hands be looked down on by the hands that work in the house.
Unlike this fraud, I actually did work my way thru school. I installed furnaces and ductwork for a heating contractor. Worked 30 hours a week while I was in school and 50 hours a week when I was not.
Did he ever participate in the underground economy back in his free wheelin’ doper and blow days?
How did he attend an exclusive private school in Hawaii if his mother was on welfare? Inquiring minds want to know more details about this strange man.
It appears that Obama is worshiping Obama.
FR mail.
He went to that prep school when he lived with his grandparents. They weren’t poor. Grandpa was in sales and grandma worked her way up to a bank vice-presidency.
He may have received some financial aid from the school to subsidize the very pricey tuition. But basically, Obama has led a charmed life and is trying to fake everyone out.
I’ve got some (lib, of course) relatives that consider themselves superior and somehow more intelligent because of the schools they went to - no, check that, the schools that their father paid for them to go to.
Whenever they start getting all condescending, I ask them what they got on the ACT/SAT...
