Obama helps out his own...

Our children are all in school, so we are past the child care years. Not having to pay those expenses will make a huge difference in your budget. Like you, I have some serious doubts about SS being around when I retire.

My state requires that a child be 10 years old to be latchkey. My youngest is 6.5. So I have to pay someone to watch them in the afternoons after school and on the Saturdays that I work, since their dad works every Saturday.

you are 100% correct.

Your fellow church goers is a perfect example of poor helping the poverty stricken.

I strongly disagree with you. I think you may be judging a matter before you know all the details.

Furthermore, if he was financially "helping" this guy who is his half brother, there would be those who would be quick to criticize him for that.

If you don't like BHO, just say you don't like BHO.

But to criticize him in this area is not wise at all.

Family?
They have the same father, but are obviously years apart and probably not close in that brotherly way-- especially since they were probably raised on different continents by different guardians. But maybe I'm giving Obama too much credit here.
