Donegal - how does Obama represent this particular background? He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth - never worked a day in his life, went to Harvard, went to Columbia. His 'work' was as a community organizer, and he certainly wasn't hurting.
His mother was filthy rich. I'm curious to why it's relevant for Ryan/Romney and not relevant for Obama.
It really isn't. Understanding how the economy works does not require growing up in the ghetto.
