I think the concern is he has abandoned his relatives, the half brother in Kenya, his aunt living in the projects and a long lost uncle someone living in poverty. He played up the "family" thing so much in his book and in real like doesn't live up to his words.
He wants us to "share the wealth" with everyone yet he is wealthy and doesn't help his own relatives.
You really don't get it. Allowing people like YOU to keep more of YOUR money isn't a bad thing. If it is, then you can give it away. Going to give it to your poorer relations? Do you even know if the distant ones need help or want help?
I have family I have not seen in years. Am I not a family person because I don't keep up with all of them?
This is horsecrap Suzanne. You don't like the guy period. So why play into this stupid stuff. Surely you have real disagreements relative to different economic theories instead of useless accusations of someone not living up to their words or finger pointing. You know darn well that many people don't help out their poorer relations, especially distant ones for a variety of reasons. And if you think Obama went into this campaign knowing he had an aunt that was denied asylum but was living in public housing you really are nuts.
