The AP says Obama worked to fit in at elite school.   They tell us the world of privilege he entered caused him to initially feel "out of place."   "Most of his classmates lived in 'split-level homes with swimming pools'"   Poor Obama lived in, gasp, an apartment.   He didn't have the kind of money his classmates did so he worked in fastfood joints!   And somehow, through all the deprivation, he managed to never complain about his station and kept an "upbeat" attitude.

Is there no limit to what the man has or can accomplish?   He had a tough (though might I add, fairly typical) social circumstance in school.   He worked while others counted their parents money in their plush "split-levels" with, gasp, swimming pools!?!   Wow, those kids must have been W-E-A-L-T-H-Y living in S-P-L-I-T-L-E-V-E-L-S!   It must have been so hard to go back to his A-P-A-R-T-M-E-N-T.

The next thing we should expect to hear is something like Obama suffered but never complained when, in his teens, he was overcome by pain and fatigue one year when he grew four inches.   Maybe we will read that Obama felt out of place when he went on his first date or to his forst college mixer.   Perhaps we'll learn that he just didn't know what in the world he was going to do as his high school graduation approached.   He overcame great obstacles.   Great obstacles!   The same obstacles any other middle class kid did.

Is the media so out of touch that they think PObama's circumstances should be emphasized?   Do they not understand that millions and millions of kids who lived in apartments never had the opportunity to go to an elite school?   Do they understand that millions of kids live in worse than apartments?   Do they understand that there is absolutely nothing remarkable about Obama's childhood or accomplishments to this point?
