Parking tickets. Lots of parking tickets. And the officer is white of course..
Obama, who attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991, lived in Cambridge and apparently didn’t like the fact he was frequently hit with parking tickets.
In all, Obama received 17 tickets for parking violations, and he did not pay 15 of them until a local newspaper exposed him as a scofflaw.
According to a 2007 Associated Press story, Obama was a parking ticket deadbeat for more than a decade — and felt the need to pay the 15 outstanding parking ticketsonly as his presidential campaign began in earnest in 2007.
Here is the Associated Press story detailing Obama’s negligence:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.
The Illinois senator shelled out $375 in January — two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign — to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.
Wow, here in Vegas they’ll tow your car if you keep getting tickets that you don’t pay for.
