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.

I was just trying to point out that Obama's experience is far removed from the image portrayed. He grew up with a grandfather and grandmothers (two parents); he lived as you said 'in paradise' as a bir-racial child in one of the most racially diverse places on earth. Yet he is protrayed as (being a Senator from Illinios) as a poor black kid from Chicago's mean streets. Its not true.

Ironically, both Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Obama are from the Chicago area.

James J. Hill, the old railroad magnate, said it best: “I’ve got no use for a man that’s never been snowed on”
