The problem with that analysis though is most people haven't even read excerpts of his auto-biography. So when he and his Demoncrat supporters starting rambling on about how his single mother made so many sacrifices blah blah blah, what are they trying to put across? It's all right CB, every presidential candidate does this. Remember, most Americans are self-made people and/or pre-destined for heaven by God. In many other parts of the world, the self-made man story gets you nowhere. You have to brag up who you are based on the family you were born into.
