Is it possible Obama sees the government as his father since his real father bandoned him?

No, what a stupid suggestion.

oh man, the original post gave me a much needed laugh for today. I so love the absurd!

Would that theory cover 1/2 the pro football players, too? Most sports figures are on the public dole their entire careers. Their education and are training completely paid for by taxpayers. When they turn pro, they play in taxpayer provided stadiums.

I could say the same thing about my neighbor. He was educated in public schools, went to West Point, the the Corps of Engineers then on to KBR. Been on the taxpayers dime his whole life. But, he's a Republican.

He wasn't ever poor, his step dad was very well to do. He went to very expensive schools. There may have been a short period of time where his mom bled the beast, but he would have been too young to know it. No doubt he worked it in college though.
