good stuff from the NY Times:
And only in America can a 46-year-old black man who just finished paying off his student loans be called “elitist,” a 60-year-old woman who with her husband has earned $100 million dollars call herself “middle class,” and a 71-year-old man who has received government paychecks his entire adult life call himself an “outsider.”

Yes, but!! Barack Obama's income certainly has afforded him to pay those loans off much sooner than he, perhaps, has chosen. His income is published, too and anyone can see that he certainly hasn't "lacked." It's called "life-style choices" and he chose to take advantage of the government loans that allow (American's) to take that much time to pay them off. Don't most American college grads do that?
Yes, anonymous, what you say is true. However, the "elites" of our fine nation would not have to take loans in the first place.

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, made $4.2 million last year as widespread interest in the presidential candidate pushed the sales of his two books.... hmm...
