“I was constantly reminded of my difficult childhood as I was attending the most elite school in the State of Hawaii, being raised by my grandmother, a Republican bank vice president…This is why I don't trust this man. He tries to pass himself off as a child of working parents (or mom) but in fact, he is a child of priviledge and nothing but.
“Then, at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, my credit card was declined when I tried to rent a car. It wasn’t easy getting by on a $60,000 state Senator’s salary, so I did what any American would do. I found a wealthy businessman named Robert Blackwell to put me on a $8,000 per month legal retainer, and then I earmarked $320,000 in state funds for his business to hold ping pong tournaments.
“I want all Americans, and especially struggling state legislators, to have the same opportunities I did. Therefore, there’s going to be more spending. Oh, and a tax increase, so you can pay for it.”

I have been saying this since he was campaigning.
His childhood was no doubt difficult emotionally, but most of his supporters seem to believe he was raised poor, despite the evidence to the contrary that is as plain as the nose on Henry Waxman's face.
