President Barack Obama declared, "I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth

The petty little child chimes in again on class warfare.

Romney should have added “he was a poor immigrant from Mexico who rose up and made it on his own” in order to give Obama a little more heartburn on his Hispanic flank.

Obama’s spoon was red.

“I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth”

Obama’s silver spoon was up his nose.

I wish Romney would have said, “Oh, that’s rich, coming from Obama. A guy who never worked a day in his life in the private sector.”

I think Dog is finger food. No spoon needed.

Well, no fan of Romney here, but it is a bit refreshing to see he’s willing to hit back at Obama, a departure from the weak McCain four years ago.

Maybe he wasn't born with a silver spoon, but my sense is Obama has been handed a lot of stuff on a silver platter. He doesn't release his college transcripts, but we know he got into Harvard Law. My guess is that he benefited greatly from affirmative action and some kind of white guilt complex on the part of the law school admissions office. He was handed the Harvard Law Review presidency (not editor) basically because he and they wanted to be popular and chic. He was basically given a political appointment at UC Law, even though he had essentially no credentials other than political connections. Same with Michelle's six-figure do-nothing job. He won almost all of his early political races either by dirty tricks (getting sealed court documents released) or disqualifying from the ballot all of his other viable opponents.

Romney’s against attacking people now? Just the latest flip-flop from the guy who stood on stage and lied to Newt’s face with the accusation that Newt “resigned in disgrace.” FUMR.

Do they have any silver spoons in Kenya?

0bama lived in a middle class neighborhood and went to a private school from the fifth grade on in Hawaii.

The 0bama File

The Dunhams enrolled "Barry Obama" in the prestigious Punahou School, starting in the fifth grade. He attended Punahou on a scholarship, through the generosity of many donors, and the influence of Stanley Armour's boss, who was a Punahou alum. Obama walked the five blocks from his grandmother's apartment on Beretania to the school.

With more than 3,000 students, Punahou is the largest private school in the country, and it sits on a lush, sprawling campus in Honolulu. The school is elite and wealthy.

Obama’s daughters certainly were born advantaged. Does he therefore think they are disqualified from anything that requires an understanding of those who come from disadvantage? Just how does he think his daughters should be treated as they progress through life, having been born to privelege? I think this is a good question.

But he was born to get a free ride on education as many minorities are.

As always, republicans are missing a real opportunity here. Why not ask how it was that zero was able to attend Harvard? Do these guys even think about things?
