Obama Attacks Wealthy For Big houses Before Returning To His $8m Mansion |
2018-07-20 |
[Daily Caller] At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate. "Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got," Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016. Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, "There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough." "We’re going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track," Obama continued "We’re going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level." |

#11 Would it be impertinent to ask where the other $16.8+ million came from? Leftover funds in his campaign kitty? |

#8 "Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got," Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016. Salary of the US President is $400K per year. Times 8 years is $3.2mm. Would it be impertinent to ask where the other $16.8+ million came from? |

#7 Shotgun shack...I like that imagery. I think if Baraq didn't have unknown benefactors (cough...Soros...cough, cough) he might aspire to live in one. |

#5 If Bathhouse and Moochelle had to live together in a shotgun shack for one day, his skinned hide would be nailed up outside by sunset. |

#1 Most of the leadership of the Democrat party seem to be suffering from old age and/or old ideas. Many of them can remember sodomizing immature dinosaurs. |
