1. "President Obama appeared to take a new jab Wednesday at likely Republican opponent Mitt Romney -- and his wealth.
2. In discussing government support for schools, Obama said:
"Somebody gave me an education. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Michelle wasn't."
3. Obama and aides figure to spotlight Romney's wealth repeatedly as they debate what he calls very different visions for the future."
Obama: I wasn't born with 'silver spoon'
So...what is the political import....that because Romney was born wealthy, somebody else was able to offer him an education???
Could the teleprompter-President be so tone deaf that he doesn't realize that "Somebody gave me an education" is exactly the same as the situation in which Romney found himself???
Doesn't this ...I almost called the President a 'bonehead'....guy realize that "Somebody gave me an education" means, rather, that everybody in the United States was born with a silver spoon in their mouth???
'Somebody' gave each of them an education.
The real difference is that we know who paid for Romney's education.
Obama won't reveal who paid for his.
I wonder why......don't you?
On the surface it does appear odd to criticize someone who was given an education and at the same time announce that you were given one too but once you look at the source it all becomes clear.
True, Obama was far from poor growing up, EXCEPT when he lived with his mother alone.
Was that in Kenya ?
