Obama’s upbringing was different from Bill Clintons. Obama was raised by his maternal grandparents in Hawaii. So, in effect, he had a much more traditional upbringing. Obama’s mother stayed in Indonesia (w/her second husband and their daughter) and sent Obama to live with and be raised by her parents.
Great read.
So Obama grew up in the tropics and Bill grew up in the south. I don’t know where the wives grew up, but frankly I don’t think anyone who has not experienced northern winters on a limited budget knows what real life is like.
