When I was working for the fire department... I got in trouble for accepting a discount on a hamburger from Jack in the Box which I never asked for.

That’s what I thought should be the case.

If Obama claims they were gifts to him personally, then he should be impeached for it. He cannot accept that much value as gifts. I think the limit is $50 of value.

I just now read the article. It says they do belong to fedgov. They are being moved to storage in Chicago, and will later be moved to the Obama Presidential Library.

How can he accept millions in jewels? I thought there were strict limits on gifts?
