President Obama said he related to middle class Americans looking for a chance, as he highlighted his administrations efforts to retrain unemployed workers for new jobs.
"I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Michelle wasn't, either," the president said to a crowd of 400 students at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio. But somebody gave us a chance. Just like these folks up here are looking for a chance.
The Obama campaign has pushed wealth and economic fairness arguments against Mitt Romney, who would be one of the wealthiest presidents in history -- and that quote was quickly seen as a veiled reference to his GOP opponent this fall.

You weren’t born in the United States, either.
Obama was born with dog in his mouth. Just another vile Muslim.
Obama was born with dog in his mouth. Just another vile Muslim.
You forgot the “n” in dog.
Yeah, I think it was more like a "black gold" spoon actually.
“And before you ask, no, you cannot see the spoon. It’s classified Top Secret. Just take my word on it, like with everything else.”
Obummer: ‘I was born with my head up my ____’
He was born with it up his anus.
But he ended up with a coke spoon up his nose. . . Cokehead-in-Chief, Blowbama.
Obama was born with an affirmative action check mark by his name and has been unsuccessful by normal measures in all he has done, except in entertainment where his books has sold.
That puts in on the same level as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.
Clinton, and now Obama, are stealing everything that isn’t nailed down. And he makes a ‘fairness argument’ about the wealth status of another candidate? Like that’s relevant to anything?
>>”I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
And The Nuge wasn’t born with a bow in his hand, but like your silver spoon, it certainly is there now! The difference is that we know where Ted’s bow came from and who’s paying for it.
Wonder is we need a search warrant to search the White House for White Stuff?
Isn’t this the clown whom only scooped ice cream for a couple of months in High School, then no paying jobs until his 30’s, or something to that effect?
Really Barry? Just because your worthless Kenyan father bugged out on you doesn’t mean you grew up poor. Punahou Boy never lacked for anything. The last President who actually experienced poverty as a child was Ronald Reagan. So STFU, Harvard.
He was raised by his grandmother, who was VP of the largest bank in Hawaii (Bank of Hawaii).
He went to the private and very expensive PSRBSP (”Pounahou School for Rich Boys in Short Pants”).
Unlike most people, there is no record of his ever having worked at a real job except a brief stint in NYC, for a trading house which in his own biography he says he despised.
....Unless working for the Corrupt and grossly mismanaged ACORN is considered a “real job.”
Yeah, he likes his grasshoppers crunchy and his dog tender.
The once honorable position of POTUS has been destroyed by being turned into 3rd world habitat.
“But somebody gave us a chance”
Like the nitwit progressives that approved that college foreign aid?
