That's what I assumed you meant, but I don't think Obama grew up as a rich kid. Raised by a single mother and went to school on scholarships. I don't believe he was dirt poor either, but that's a long way from deserving the "silver spoon" label.

Sure he's rich now, but it appears to be the product of a well educated and intelligent person who wrote some good books!
