Yeah, I'm sure with his ivy league education, he can surely identify with the struggles of the "black" man from the hood.
He grew up without his father, I'm sure he can relate a lot more than you would think. I'm not saying feel sorry for him, he's made well for himself and his family but just like there are whites and hispanics from all walks of life.. you have blacks like that too. Nobody choose their race, you just work with the hand you are dealt and Obama just happens to be black.
