Like Lincoln------hardly!! Just political garbage.

Your story of Obama's early life is more than a little uninformed and skewed.

Ann of Kansas and Obama,Sr. of Kenya were students at the elite University of Hawaii in the early 1960's.

Obama, Jr. born------1961

Obama of Kenya left Obama, Jr. and his mother in Hawaii when Obama,Jr. was just a toddler-----Kenyan Obama leaves and goes to elite Harvard--------Obama sees Kenyan Obama once again in his lifetime

Mother, Ann, connects with Indonesian student at University of Hawaii after Barrack Obama, Sr. disappears and marries? Indonesian man

Mother and Indonesian man move to Indonesia, with Obama,Jr. a a mere child in tow

Mother, Ann, finally comes to her senses and sends Obama back to Hawaii around age 10 to live with her parents and begin his education.

You left out the part about attending the most expensive private school in HA. And the elite educations, Harvard Law. And the mansion his now convicted criminal slumlord buddy helped him buy.

That's odd, Kenneth...

This biography doesn't mention how the O-man turned down lucrative jobs:

After high school, Obama studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years. He then transferred to Columbia University in New York, graduating in 1983 with a degree in political science.

After working at Business International Corporation (a company that provided international business information to corporate clients) and NYPIRG, Obama moved to Chicago in 1985. There, he worked as a community organizer with low-income residents in Chicago's Roseland community and the Altgeld Gardens public housing development on the city's South Side.

Obama entered Harvard Law School in 1988. In February 1990, he was elected the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review. Obama graduated magna cum laude in 1991.

After law school, Obama returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer, joining the firm of Miner, Barnhill & Galland. He also taught at the University of Chicago Law School. And he helped organize voter registration drives during Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.

Obama published an autobiography in 1995 Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. And he won a Grammy for the audio version of the book.

Obama's advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate as a Democrat. He was elected in 1996 from the south side neighborhood of Hyde Park.

I note that the O-man worked for Business International Corporation and NYPIRG. Was he doing this for free?

I also note that he worked as a community organizer with low-income residents in Chicago's Roseland community. But it appears that he only did this for 2 years. And, it doesn't mention how much he was paid.

After Harvard, the O-man went to work at Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Are you suggesting that he worked at this law firm for free?

Based on his biography, the O-man is NOTHING like Lincoln. Give me a break with the DNC talking points.
