I would argue that he was raised far mor affluently than many of us, but he couldn’t stand that others had more. He seems to have a high sense of entitlement.
The Republicans could be passing up a real opportunity here to get Obama to do what they want. Threaten to cut his travel and party budget if he vetos their bills.
