Amazing
Barak Obama spent a considerable portion of his youth in poverty. He worked his own way to the top.
John McCain -- John Sidney McCain III -- is the son and grandson of admirals. He's American military aristocracy. And he married, as aristocrats often do, into serious money.
Any blue-collar voter who thinks McCain is more "people like us" than Obama has to be, I'm sorry, a complete goddamn moron.
-- Daniel Dvorkin
What years did Obama spend in poverty, much less considerable years?
It didn't happen. His step farther was upper middle class, his grandparents were not poor by any stretch of the imagination. When are these magical years of poverty supposed to be?
