Where and when did BO get all his fancy tastes? I thought his mother was on food stamps. His grandmother was apparantly not too wealthy given that she lived in that same high rise apt for years and years. She could have had money saved- who knows. That whole trip he took to Hawaii during the summer and before the election was just weird. He was up to no good.

Who said his mother was on food stamps? And his grandparents lived in one of the highest priced places in the U.S.

He said on the campaign trail, in reference to him and Michelle, "I know what it was like to be poor, there were times where we had to eat pizza every night."

If he thinks eating pizza every night is poor, he didn't grow up underprivileged.

He's an elitist what did you expect him to learn at Harvard? He should have kept it real and asked for one with Government Cheese...Darn now is Rev. AL gonna say he isn't authentic again?? LOL

Let’s be honest. He didn’t get to Columbia and Harvard without some financial help. But during that time, he was able to hob nob with the elite and pretend he was one of them. The people he hung around with: Rev Wright has a house worth several million dollars, Michelle dined on lobster tails while on the campaign trail, and I’m guessing a lot of creme brulee, judging from her “big back seat”. He’s acts like a regular guy one day, and like New Rich on the next.
