A newly published report raises questions about some established
narratives in the early life of President Obama, suggesting the
president's upbringing was one of privilege and not hardship.
The Washington Examiner published a 10-part report
detailing Obama's path to the White House. Some of the information
appears to conflict with the narratives the Obamas and the Democratic
Party have pushed, most recently at the party's convention in
Charlotte.
At the convention, Michelle Obama said they "were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions."
Examiner Executive Editor Mark Tapscott questioned that.
"I'm sure he had a difficult childhood given the circumstances with his parents, but from a financial standpoint and social standpoint and so forth , it was not an underprivileged childhood," Tapscott said.
The Examiner reports that the Indonesian neighborhood, Menteng, where Obama's mother and step-father raised the young Barry Soetoro was the most exclusive in Jakarta.
Later sent to live with his grandparents in Hawaii where his grandmother was a bank vice president, Obama attended the exclusive Punahoe school. He later went on to Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
