We know the ‘challenge’ of student loan debt.” On an income of $272,000 per year!
Man and woman of the people! Only not so much, as (Link to the Story:Behind Obama’s Definition of Wealth and Paying Off Student Loans)ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported earlier.
Here’s a rundown of the president’s income, according to his tax returns, in the years before he paid off his student loans:
2004: $207,647
2003: $238,327
2002: $259,394
2001: $272,759
2000: $240,505
In 2001 and 2002, the Obamas would have met the $250,000 standard the president has set for those wealthy enough to afford to pay more taxes.
It’s also notable that the Obamas didn’t claim deductions for student loans on any of those years, most likely because they made too much money to qualify for the student loan deduction.
How “challenging” having to pay back money that you willingly borrowed, all on a measly $272,759 per year!
Twitter users help with the debunking.
I am glad and surprised that ABC is covering this, online at least.
I doubt you will hear about this on GMA and I doubt diane Sawyer will mention this.
one thing
what proof do we have they actually had student loans?
Plus they are not counting Mooch-elle’s do-notning job salary at the hospital ($300K)
I’m waiting for Michelle to discuss Barack’s FOREIGN STUDENT LOANS while attending school HERE.
Wouldn’t they have gotten some sort of affirmative action handout for tuition?
Ping....
...on using Twitter messaging to debunk a quarter of a million dollars income not being sufficient to pay off their college loan, which they could not deduct because they made too much money.
Tweets rock, beyond the choir.
“Wouldn’t they have gotten some sort of affirmative action handout for tuition?”
I’d think they did (but recipients often hide this from shame); they certainly did for the election.
I’m enjoying many of these articles because of the comments down below. Even in the MSM sites it looks like well over 50% don’t believe the MSM or the won. I can’t imagine every site is getting freeped, so it looks to me like a lot of people are waking up.
What a pair of liars!
Michelle probably had a loan, she didn’t start living off the Government teat until she met Obama.
I think the Saudis and aid to foreign students paid his. I doubt we will ever learn the truth.
I so agree with you. The worm has turned apparently.
It’s rather like even the Marxist loving media is not only letting the opposition post now, but are bumping their posted ire and protests to the top now.
It’s stunning, really.
Obama is very likely D-O-N-E forever. Even Soros is said to prefer ROMNEY.
That would be because there is absolutely no difference but for emphasis of issues.
I won’t be participating in the GOPE Pelosi-style Romney cram down.
REBELLION IS HARD, AND SCARY, BUT IT’S BEEN KNOWN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU MEAN IT TO THE LAST MAN.
Yes, I heard that on serius radio during an 8 hour drive day before yesterday. Have not heard it since. Perhaps you are right. Either way, it seems to say a lot. Obama is likely DONE, in globalist circles at any rate.
I suspect whoever despises Israel more will get the nod from Soros, but there is no real known difference between Obama and Romney.
Except in office Romney as governor did more damage to liberty than Obama by quite a stretch when he was a Chicago pol. (At least he just voted “Present”.)
I am watching the deeds of Romney and discarding his words. He is riding almost entirely on the electorates FEAR of Obama and has to SAY very little to win.
What he will DO is an unknown, but for his quite socialist record and abuse of religious liberty in MA.
Yeah, even comments after yahoo stories are surprisingly in line with my opinion.
ps. Thanks Mr. Robinson

I think there are people who are Freeps and don’t know it...yet.
A lot of them are not online,too.
I hear them all the time worrying about where we are headed as a country and so on.
Obama’s white grandmother, who raised him probably mlonger than Stnley, was a bank VP or something.
Remember, Mrs. Maobama lies for the “common good”. Therefore, she’s granted an indulgence in the church of leftism.
Or, their college financial aid, for that matter?
Obama is aggressively campaigning for the youth vote.
But the MSM can't be bothered to check his personal details?
And where is the GOP establishment on this issue?
Have they even brought up the subject of the Obama’s personal paperwork?
If not for Conservative Blogs, I wouldn't know anything about this guy.
Great article but Twitchy forgot to include/endorse a hashtag... I don’t mind turfing Bobo’s but it’s best to put a homegrown one in play like #flotustrugglesbyon250Kyrly
