If Ms. Palin DOES understand the struggles of broke people, she had better back that up. We KNOW Obama grew up in a single-parent household that wasn't the richest in the country. Maybe Palin did too, but she better mention it.

It's not her SUCCESS, sparks - it's her apparent LYING that is the issue.

Marigold, I hear your sarcasm loud and clear, and good for you! She could afford anything without the government footing the bill. She's UNDERSTANDS what it's like to be broke, right?
