That was a surprise to me, too. It showed class by Obama in not bringing it up. But it also was consistent with who he is, with the emphasis on the present and the message he has to the public. If he would have "argued" that JFK or his father or whatever helped his father get here, where in 1961 he was born, it would have presented the contrast with Hillary and comparison of who was pre-annointed. He didn't want to go down that path, and wanted the race, and then the Presidency on the merits. His message has been you can overcome whatever you have faced, and our country would be better if people had less because of what someone did for them than what they do today and in the future for themselves. Remember, Michelle faced that at Princeton, referring in her thesis to others of privilege. Barack and Michelle would like a world with less privilege, more opportunity, a level playing field. That is how they are bringing up their children. And Caroline didn't bring it up. In the days after her OpEd in the New York Times, it was leaked by someone who knew or did research and found the connection.
