WOW. This has fraud written all over it.

No different than Michelle getting twice the salary at UofC hospital when Barry mad senator. There have always been percs for being in power. Washington is no different than the court of Louis XVI. lobbyists = courtiers

Sounds less like fraud and more like Obama had friends who pulled strings and made verbal promises on his behalf that his circumstances were only going to get better.

Essentially, by the book - he probably shouldn’t have gotten that loan, but given who he is friends with, there were probably some words exchanged to the fact that the Obamas were going to be earning substantially more sooner than later, a fact that appears to have panned out well for the loan officer who took the risk of making the loan to the Obamas.

I doubt there was fraud but I do suspect there was a lot of winking going on.
