George Hussein Onyango Obama
blonde sagacity — ... Obama seems pretty set on using YOUR money for a "single payer health care system" and for a "world government" --yet isn't it interesting that he can't use any of the $4.2 million he made in 2007 to help a sibling that is living on less than a dollar a month?! (source) ...

McCain: Obama Is Rich Middle Class Too!
Obsidian Wings — ... by hilzoy The McCain campaign responds: "Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?" I thought that people who only make $4 million a year are still comfortably part of the middle class, according to John McCain. Of course, John McCain made even less than that last year, and since his definition of 'rich' conveniently ...

Fact-Checking Obama’s “At Least 4 Houses” Ad
Electric Venom — ... Granted, you didn’t make $5 million last year. With your wife’s earnings the Obama household income was a more modest $4.2 million in 2007, but what’s a piddling $800,000… unless you’re like me. ...

Michelle Obama: But Really, It's All About Me
Hit & Run — ... And can everyone, especially relatives of the guy, stop talking about the pay cut that Obama took by "walking away" from a "big" law firm job? The Obamas are doing quite well, even when book royalties are factored out. ...

But Joe the Plumber minds very much, as does Joe Six-Pack. It’s even ...

Obama attacks today's only safe investment option
Wizbang — ... Americans to invest money in the stock market in a desperate attempt to end its 1931-1932 death spiral. Discouraging us from saving isn't going to be helpful, though. If the president is worried about Americans not spending enough of their own money, perhaps he should consider lowering tax rates, so that they will have more of their own money to spend. Or at least let us know what kind of investments are currently safer than our mattresses. Mr. President, where are you putting your money ? One more thing: Sitting at the head of a conference table with his suit coat off, Mr. ...

Obama Sucks Up to the Rich Man
Pajamas Media — ... of them would assent to that. The rancorous language used to describe these taxpayers makes it clear that as a matter of public policy they will be made to “pay for” the fact of their wealth — no matter how many of them worked honestly and honorably to produce it. No Democratic president in 60 years has been this explicit. So Obama has it in for the wealthy. Those of us who went beyond the gushing headlines during the campaign last year already knew that. It’s ironic, considering his income jumped from $991,296 in 2006 to $4.2 million in 2007 — but while you can move a man ...
