Let's stick with the adult version of the man and his (mostly bad) policy proposals.
I don't see the circumstances of his childhood education as being "unimportant" to who he is today.
ESPECIALLY given that those educators were and are virulently anti-American, and anti-white.
Is a person able to shake those things off and be a different person? Of course.
Has O'bama done so? We don't really know, do we? The evidence is flimsy.
The adult version...
His record speaks for itself...
