Michelle's Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous

[Larkinn]

THe problem is she didn't earn it. It was given to her and she did nothing. Meanwhile insisting that fat cats pay disproportionate taxes because they need to spread the wealth around.

Of course it doesn't bother you guys. YOu're all for raping the system and could care less when people get caught. You thrive on hypocrisy and thievery.

Also please provide evidence how McCain and McCain's wife earned all their money. . It takes a lot more work to work from the ground up, than to get born rich or to marry a heiress.

I'm still GREATFUL they bought Maine Lob-stahs!

 

[Contessa_Sharra]

Contessa_Sharra has a valid point. If the the Obama's were rich they would not have needed to get a sweetheart deal from Rezko.

I guess allegedly getting some deal like that would be "more" offensive than marrying the bimbo for her money, like McCain did?

Considering that the R.E. deal has likely dropped greatly in value, like all real estate, it is a real so what issue.

1. That "bimbo" has done more work around the world to help needy children than you and I and probably the rest of the posters on this board will ever do.

2. If you don't see the problem with getting a house at 300K below market with help from a man who was under indictment and is now a convicted felon than I won't bother to explain it to you.

 

[Contessa_Sharra]

It was idiotic. I could have written a better one when I was 10.

YOU????????????????

BULLSHIT!

I do thank you for a really good laugh to start the day, however. Have you considered tryouts for some of that open mike stuff?

ROTFKMLMAO!

I have no problem with Michelle and Barack living within their means, just as I have no problem with Cindy living off her father's wealth. Every bit of money I make, I make in the hopes that I can one day leave it all to my family so they can live a decent lifestyle. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Do you have a problem with those who are far wealthier than you, telling you to chose NOT to seek their level of wealth for the good of the nation, while they continue to enjoy living within their very wealthy means?

Because this is where I have to take issue with Barack and Michelle Obama whereas I don't have to take issue with the McCains. I do not begrudge Michelle Obama her lobster and caviar snacks...I think its lovely that her family has done well, and I hope that my family will continue to do well as we have been and be similarly comfortable some day.

But both Michelle and Barack Obama have spoken frequently about what they expect of the American people. They have encouraged Americans not to seek wealth, but rather to take lower paying "socially conscious" jobs that are "better" for our country. They have spoken about giving up luxuries and giving up on seeking to be wealthy for the "betterment" of our nation.

It is, I think, a bit suspicious when a politician tells me that they are going to ask me to give up my own wealth...when they seemingly have no intentions of cutting back on their luxuries.

 

[Jon]

I never really looked at it that way, but you're right. It's quite hypocritical.

 

[strollingbones]

You are looking sillier by the second.

All I asked you was do you think a government handout is a tax cut?

Sorry if you consider that to be a smear or innuendo.

did you feel this way about the free cell phone towers that mccain got?

pot meet the kettle

 

[strollingbones]

plus obama didnt take public funding...unlike mccain...he is not spending taxpayers monies...stick a fork in you...you are done...

personally sounds like a good dinner to me.

And if I used huge fonts I could probably finish it in three hours.
And it would still be a better piece.

now now its not nice to point out the family values party has ran an adulter for president...shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ummm....Obama IS spending taxpayers money. The money McCain is spending was donated by people when they filed their taxes. The money Obama is spending was donated by during the campaign. There's no difference, except that Obama went back on his word.

They got the money from writing a book. If they both went into private practice and had been doing that all this time, they would both be partners and making 1 mil+ a year, each. They did give up things in order to help people, they just got lucky despite that.

Umm, that would be NOT taxpayers money. Its not money payed through taxes, its money donated to Obama willingly.

Also...any evidence that this money was campaign money, and not private money? I would hope that the campaigns aren't getting room service with campaign money, and instead are using their own money.

It's money donated by taxpayers, just like the $3 tax check-off that funds McCain's campaign.

So since I pay taxes and I bought a sandwich this afternoon with money from people who pay my wages (who also pay taxes), I used taxpayer money to buy myself a sandwich this afternoon?

That is completely and utterly absurd. Taxpayer money is money that comes from people paying their taxes, not from the same people who also pay taxes.

 

[AllieBaba]

How did she get Iranian caviar?
Don't we have trade sanctions against them?

 

[AllieBaba]

I wonder if Obama puffs on Cuban cigars as well?

 

[Larkinn]

Her terrorist Iranian socialist allies flew it in while illegally immigrating to the United States.

Or...she bought it from room service.
