I wonder what job offers he turned down with “big money” as he advertises?
It’s an excellent question. He went to work as a civil rights lawyer after law school. They can make plenty of money. He also had a two-book deal; a state legislator salary; and fees from sitting on various boards. IIRC they lived in a 450K condo before they bought the mansion.
They were well off, but according to Michelle, of modest means compared to most of her friends.
Knowing the BHO campaign, I would not be surprised if these big money offers are as real as his shock over Jeremiah Wright.
