Since Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama, apparently doesn’t know her own husband very well, I think it my duty to correct the lies Mrs. Obama propagated at the Democratic National Convention during her speech. She claimed that Barack came from similar blue collar roots as she did. Apparently the Barack advisers want to down play the Uncle Tom appearance he has received in recent months by doing what is so common among rappers. Let no one be fooled, Obama is not from humble beginnings.
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a white Kansas woman and a Kenyan who split when Barack was only two. For a man born into tribal Africa, Barack’s father was given the opportunity to study in the United States and met his second wife at the University of Hawaii. In 1963 the elder Obama and wife divorced when he was accepted to Harvard University and moved to Massachusetts. Obama returned to Kenya and worked in the Ministry of Transportation as an Economist. Meanwhile, Barack’s mother was born into a military family in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. She went to the University of Hawaii where she eventually received her PhD.
Does this sound like the middle class lifestyle to anyone else? A father who received a job in a government and had advanced degrees and a mother who had advanced degrees?
Barack’s mother, Ann, married her second husband named Lolo Soetoro who was Indonesian. Lolo and Ann met at the University of Hawaii and quickly moved to Jakarta, Indonesia where Lolo took a job with Mobil Oil after a period as a geologist. Tell me ladies and gentlemen does this sound like the life of a middle class blue collarr family?
Barack wished to attend school in America and his mother reluctantly sent him back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. He was enrolled in Punahou School, a private school, where he graduated in 1979. His grandmother Madelyn helped pay for his schooling with some tuition assistance. His grandmother was the Vice President of The Bank of Hawaii. After graduating Barack attended college initially at Occidental College in Las Angeles; Occidental is a Private Liberal Arts college and currently charges $1,076 per semester for tuition and room & board is $210 a week. Barack transferred to Columbia University after 2 years at Occidental. For those unfamiliar with Columbia, it is the oldest school in New York City and is Private. Columbia college for undergraduates per year currently charges $18,735 for the year. Tack on the additional charges colleges hit you with and you’re looking at close to a $30,000 a year school for someone who grew up in a blue collar family.
In the years following graduation from Columbia, Obama worked for the Business International Corporation, and New York Public Interest Research Group. He moved to Chicago and worked as the Director of the Developing Communities Project. During his time at the DCP, Obama helped the organization group from a staff of 1 to 13 and built up an annual budget that was $70,000 when he started to $400,000 by the time he left. When he finally left he traveled to Europe for three weeks and then went to Kenya. Does this sound like blue collar work to you?
Following these adventures Senator Obama attended non other than the Mecca of not only colleges, but of Education in general in the United States: Harvard. Not only did he attend Harvard for just education but for law school. For those who don’t know Harvard is a private university founded in the 17th century by the Puritans and is the oldest university in the United States. Just for a little perspective once again, Harvard Law’s tuition per year is over $40,000 not including other fees. Upon graduating the University of Chicago offered Obama a fellowship to write his book. When the book took longer to write than expected, Michelle and him traveled to Bali. Obama went on to teach Constitutional Law at the renowned University of Chicago for twelve years.
I hope this has enlightened those who fell into the democrat trap of lies about their new Messiah. Barack Obama was never a blue collar worker, and he didn’t grow up in a blue collar home. He has lived a privileged life from the start and it is impossible to believe that it is any different. Do we honestly want a man in the White House who has to lie about where he comes from in order to gain the support to win the office? His attempts to court the black community are sickening because he is lying blatantly to people he calls his own. He would rather lie than be called an Uncle Tom and watch the black community not support his bid for the White House. He is trying to gain the support of the underclass in the United States and trying to play the part of the Harry S. Truman Democrat when he is more like the JFK Democrat. The era when Presidential nominees were expected to be born in log cabins and come from humble roots is over Mr. Obama.
Barack Obama is unable to tell the truth about where he comes from. What makes anyone who supports this man think that he will be able to tell the truth about the important things? We have spent the last sixteen years with two men who were unable to tell the truth and Democrats want us to vote for another four years of lies.
