Seems like to me someone who has minimal resources has as much, or more, opportunity than middle class kids like mine. Seems like it eh?

Obama's life story is a tribute to the opportunities that exist in America. A totally different picture than liberals paint of America - namely, a land where masses of helpless people are doomed to poverty unless the government steps in and lifts them up. Although he has had some advanteges that few people receive - I suspect string-pulling on his grandmothers part, but I don't know for sure. Even had Obama not gotten his elite prep school education, he could have done well in America. Going to normal colleges, working hard, he could have succeeded.
