The White House ^

"I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all ***the American kids*** went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning."

I was under the impression that his stepfather was fairly well-to-do.

I noticed that too - the “chip on the shoulder” attitude AGAINST “American kids” and envious of those that had the money for it. Class envy and country hatred is already showing ... .

I doubt he wrote the speech himself. Presidents rarely do.

I don't know about that ... his father was a drunken stumble bum who donated sperm to anyone receptive. Between that and his screwed up mother, Obama had a low probability of turning out normal.

I was mainly pointing out “the American kids”. It just seems like an odd thing to say. Not “the other American kids”...

The chip is against his mother.

And “grandma.”

hmmm, Does this mean Obama was not an American kid?

Not “the other American kids” but “the American kids.”

Interesting. Reminds me of the time George Stephanie Opolis had to correct him when he said “my Muslim religion.”

” was under the impression that his stepfather was fairly well-to-do.”

What was his name?

I don't recall reading much about him.

So did the whore marry him for his money?

BTW why was Obama’s mother declared unfit?

Any details on that? His WHITE grandparents wound up raising him in Hawaii ... where he then used his SKIN COLOR to jump ahead of those “American kids”, that he loathed - and at taxpayer expense!

Maybe his speech writer also believes he wasn’t an “American kid”. No doubt that will be corrected by later this afternoon. Reminds me a bit of his “my Muslim faith” comment.

The radio news reported that the White House nixed the supplemental materials (Make a poster of your favorite Obama quote!)

True? No classroom materials at all? Just the wordy speech?

Sounds to me like he’s applying fertilizer to future taxpayers.

You're just now noticing this? He doesn't like anything America stands for either.

“I did some things I’m not proud of, “

Like lying about his Constitutional eligibility to be President.

I thought he went to a Catholic school when he lived in Indonesia?
