Obama doesn't have the any notion what being poor is. He has never been without one day in his pathetic communist life.
He grew up in Hawaii with a very high cost of living to a single mom. Grandparents did help out. He went to prep school on scholarship. So while not 'poor' as in hungry all day, he was definitely one of the poorer kids in his class.
Pathetic and Communist.
Really?
Politics aside, anyone that wants to be POTUS isn't a communist.
Pathetic? He rides in Airforce 1. Any plane he's in becomes Airforce 1.

Grew up in Indonesia as a privileged child. Single mom left him to be raised by his grandparents, where he was a privileged child. He's never worked, yet managed to get a law degree and buy a really nice home in Chicago.
Having the privilege to go to private school does make one believe they are above average than the masses or as the brits say the commoners. Obama has an air of privilege about him as his comments make him quite an elitist.. such as those commoners from Pennsylvania who cling to their guns and religion.

I'm pretty liberal and I don't believe he grew up poor. Did you mean all liberals or just some?

Wrong. He left when he was 10 (to start school), followed 2 months later by his mother after she divorced Lolo Soetoro. She remained in Hawaii till her death in 2008. He was only "alone" with his Grandparents for 2 months.
