Think you described Obama perfectly---- "never been told no and is a spoiled brat". One doesn't have to be spoiled to go to the private school of Punahou on Oahu but certainly going to Punahou put a silver spoon, so to speak, in his mouth at an early age. He went to Punahou after Stanley Ann sent him back to Hawaii to live with her parents in Honolulu from Indonesia. The cost of Punahou was prohibitive for the majority of families at the time he went there. Only those who could afford the price could go and get the classic education they were known for then. If he had gone to a public school on Oahu, he would not have made it to any of the schools on the mainland that he went to---Punahou was his ticket provided by I presume his Grandparents. Likely this doesn't totally apply now in Hawaii, hopefully the public schools have improved. mj
