“I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me. And I’m not interested in isolating myself,” Obama said in a recent interview. “I feel good when I’m engaged in what I think are the core issues of the society, and those core issues to me are what’s happening to poor folks in this society.”
His passion is rooted in his background. He was born in Hawaii, his father an Oxfordand Harvard-educated economist from the African nation of Kenya, his mother a white anthropologist from Kansas. Obama moved to Southeast Asia at age 2 when his parents divorced and his mother married an Indonesian.
Until the fifth grade, Obama attended Indonesian schools, where most of his friends were the sons of servants, street peddlers and farmers. Concern for Obama’s education led his mother to return him to Hawaii, where he attended public schools through high school. In 1983, he graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science.
At a recent meeting in a Harvard cafeteria, his affinity with the underdog was readily apparent. “I lived in a country where I saw extreme poverty at a very early age,” Obama said. “Parts of my family in Kenya remain very poor. My grandmother still lives in a mud-walled house with no running water or electricity.
“That’s who I am, that’s where I come from, not always literally, but at least emotionally.” ...
LucyT = look... this is not new info at all!
Huh?
Whatta bloody phony!!! I wonder if he even believes this himself. He's a Soviet Union-era communist who believes "It's all about the poor," yeah, controlling them from your elegant dacha. He is the Anointed One and deserves all the taxes from the workers, while HE "solves" their problems from above.
And his history is filled with so many inconsistencies that who knows what even approximates truth?
Yeah. He did a real good job of that in Chicago.
Obama's "community organizing" left Chicago neighborhoods in ruins.
Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."
Return to sender, address unknown.
The way this is worded, it looks like Barry got the boot from his Indonesian school. Judging by what we know of his character, perhaps he was a bully. I lost tabs on the tranny nanny story, but that would do it.
“...where he attended public schools through high school.”
************************************************
I thought he attended private school in Hawaii?
His mother's concern was that young Barry was becoming quite a devout little Muslim. Mommy was a commie, not a Muslim, and she didn't want a son who was more Muslim than commie. So he was packed off back to the US to stay with his commie gran and gramps and all their commie friends.
LOL! Quelle horreur, he was in the cafeteria. Quite obviously a man of the people.
Funny how it's all about what he thinks are the issues, not what society does.
