  1. He he working at a job and making money to support his family.  That is working class...maybe a lot high working class than most of us on Y/A. It is white collar, but he is still working for a paycheck and will be even if he is elected president.  He will then work for us and we can re-hire or fire after 4 years.



    A lot of presidents, and  those who ran for president, went to prep-schools and Ivy league universities.  


  2. A man who grew up in Private schools on the beaches of Hawaii, attended plush Ivy league schools and has never held a real job can hardly be considered working class.

  3. Obama has worked for a pay check in real jobs,McSame has lived of the public t*t all his life has never worked for a living.

       Obama know how many houses he owns.

  4. after the sale of his book, he finally paid off his student loans (his and michelle's)--he's a upper middle class working stiff--you don't have to be blue collar to be working class and like anything there are levels to classism--he is UPPER MIDDLE CLASS, Harvard, Large Homeowner, Community Worker, Senator, and now successful Author.

    so what--isn't that the American dream!!!

  5. He's working on pushing all his anti american friends under the carpet. Other than that no he's not.

  6. His family may have been.......HE is not.

    (ilitrt, I have known many college grads that work in factories...even Yale and Harvard)

  7. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

    He is an elitist and his kid's are learning the way of life.

    look at how they hold up the nose like their momma

  8. Obama has worked hard for what he has achieved. If by working class you mean blue collar, than no. I would consider him to be white collar. Most senators and lawyers are.  However he did NOT grow up rich or white collar. He grew up basically in a single parent household, his mom was twice divorced. His mom was an anthropologist (definitely not a lot of money there) and worked  on degrees during his childhood, so they were not rich.  The private school he attended, Punahou was paid for by his grandparents and he also got scholarships. A lot of people do this who are not rich.  He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he definitely did not grow up rich like  many of our presidents have. He has worked very hard for what he as achieved. He has compassion for the working people because this is what he came from.

  9. You tell me.  What actual job has he ever had.  

  10. farthest thing from it

  11. LOL...no he's not

  12.     No hes not ! And whats punahou mean ? Is that Swahlli for Obama is a Maxist Socialist Elititist?

  13. Hardly!

    He's lived a life of luxury without really giving anything back in terms of his money.

    His intent is clear....it was always to raise him for political office.

    He is owned by George Soros.

  14. No.

    The grandmother who raised him was vice president of a bank, and sent him to Punahou, a private school.

    He spent the next several years going to college.

    He doesn't have any personal experience as a member of the working class.

  15. No and neither is McCain. They are politicians maybe way back they worked for a living, but that has all stopped now.

  16. Yes. Obama was born to a singe mom. He has never had a silver spoon in his mouth.

  17. No.  No politician is working class.

    The circumstances of their upbringing may lead people to apply that term to them but generally after they graduate from the Ivy League, as I think every modern President has done, it becomes a moot point.

    EDIT:  I grew up the son of a Naval officer, trust me McCain is not working class.

  18. Of course not. Obama has been privileged all his life. You don't go to Harvard and still consider yourself working class. You consider yourself better than everyone else. I don't think lawyers ever think of themselves as working class.

  19. Obama is not from the working class. McCain & Palin are.

    I don't know what punahou is; maybe something that Obama ate.

  20. punahou is a college in Hawaii. yes,Obama came from a working class family.

  21. no he is not a working class person,Punahou is a school in Hawaii

  22. Elitist class.

  23. No, he isnt. He isnt any different than McCain, though he tries to make himself out to be.

  24. He could very well be born in poverty but he's not working class now. No one who earned 4 million is. He's an elitist and acts the part. And don't think that you are anything to him but another sheep, shilling for votes for him. He'd use you up and throw you under the bus.
