“”Obama says she didn’t get into tennis until after law school because there were few courts where she grew up in Chicago””

We knew she was UNDERprivileged but we didn’t know it was THAT BAD! Poor thing. No wonder she has to live it up now!
Shall we take pity on her?

NOPE - not me!!!

I guess there wasn’t an Affirmative Action tennis program in her hood.

*snicker*

We didn’t either. We would take the single racket my dad got from Salvation Army and bring the can of tennis balls we saved up for to the local elementary school and use the wall as our “opposition”.
