Obama went to Punahou High School in Hawaii.
While he may be able to say he wasn't from a rich family - Punahou is one of, if not THE most privileged schools in HI .

Wow Effin, that place has a pretty steep tuition. It's almost twice as expensive as attending the University of California!

I always connect with politicians that have combined incomes of $1mm.
And they are the poor ones! How come his wife gets to take a break from her Quarter Million Dollar salary spot from Univ of Chicago -- does that qualify as Family Leave?
(is running for president one of those qualifiers?) -- and will she get the job back, at the
same position and pay rate? Or... will they only guarantee a spot for her, like they do
veterans, that may not be at the same pay rate?
Like... receptionist that tells you which hallways to get to the department you're looking for?
Elite? They are "all" elite, relatively speaking, as far as how they view themselves vs. how they view the people who elect them.
I just want to know when the day will come when the human and the fish can peacefully co-exist.

check the private schools whereyou live. that tuition ($16,000) is in line with private school tuitions in the Atlanta area. a friend of mine has a daughter entering Valdosta State this fall. her tuition, room and board, is considerably less than one year of tuition at these schools. actually, the college costs slightly less than KINDERGARTEN at these places!

Danny's middle school tuition is running close to 20K per annum here in LA.
