An excerpt from one of former President Barack Obama's previously unpublished law school papers revealed he believed the American dream was to be like Donald Trump, although he called such a goal "unfounded optimism."
At age 29, Obama wrote a paper with friend Robert Fischer titled "Race and Rights Rhetoric" in his last year at Harvard Law School. An excerpt of the paper was published in a biography of Obama's early life, titled Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, Vice reported Friday.
Obama had written that the average American mindset can be summed up in one sentence: "I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will."

Funny!
“I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don’t make it, my children will.”
Yep, another classic Fail for this boy.
Of course it would be unfounded optimism to a Kenyan who could only get wealthy through looting, graft and influence peddling.
The corrupt usurper couldn’t polish Trump’s shoes....
“As soon as my handlers give me $10 billion on a silver platter and an Obama plane, I can be like Donald Trump.”
That is true. It is the "American Dream." Anybody, if they work hard enough, can be like Donald Trump.
This is why Donald Trump and people like him, are admired in America.
On the other hand, people like Obama, who are products of Affirmative Action, who never work a day in their lives and are handed everything, are despised by the true Americans.
Another win for Trump.
He obviously believed that until he realized he is “The One:.
You mean, they’ve actually found someone who knew he existed back then? Wow. This is news!
Why is all this stuff about Obama coming out now? And never came out when he was first running for president???
I’m guessing that crypto-Marxist Barry looked upon such aspirations with disdain.
The Deep State cared back then; they don’t now.
Everything the leadership of the left does or says is really about political advantage.
If the public had known that during the campain . . .
So using the lefts interpretation of Trump, Obama wanted to be a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist.
Obama had written that the average American mindset can be summed up in one sentence: "I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don't make it, my children will."
He criticized such an idea, however, as the "unfounded optimism of the average American," arguing that this "continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility … may be summarily dismissed" as such optimism.
In 1991, Obama and Fischer argued that African Americans should shift towards the language of opportunity.
"Precisely because America is a racist society… we cannot realistically expect white America to make special concessions towards blacks over the long haul," Obama and Fischer wrote.
Well whaddaya know? It looks like Sparky really does understand the American psyche. The problem is he tried to bury it in the outhouse under his own (Alinsky’s®) brand of disingenuous cynicism.
