Poor Barack?

Hey all, another week wrapped up. I want to dedicate sometime looking at the personal lives of the two leading Presidential candidates so we can know them as people since one will definitely call Pennsylvania Avenue home.
Barack Hussein Obama was born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His mother a native of Kansas, and his father from the African country of Kenya. He attended Columbia University where he earned an undergraduates degree in 1983. Later on he earned a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1991. All this info can be found in Senator’s Obama biography on the web site of the United States Congress. Enough about his rise to fame. How can he pretend to relate to the common man when he went to such prestigious schools? That’s great that he earned his college degrees, and anyone who is able to attend Ivy League schools has achieve quite a bit when they receive their diploma. Most people aren’t able to attend these institutions do to financial or other reasons. My point, he isn’t an average Joe like he claims to be. His closest friends are quite wealthy not poor, not people who live from pay check to pay check, not those who are part of the smokestack industry, and yet people believe he is just like me and you. I don’t hold grudges against those who have achieve success, or those who belong to the upper class. God bless them for everything they have. I just don’t take lightly someone who claims to have suffered, or someone who plays the victimization doctrine when they are wealthy along with attending some of the best universities in the country.
Do you feel like you can’t truly relate to his rise to fame? Does it bother you the claiming of so many struggles when he has had it easier than many who do come for poor backgrounds? James.
