OBAMA ATTACKS WEALTHY FOR BIG HOUSES BEFORE RETURNING TO HIS $8 MILLION MANSION
http://dailycaller.com/ ^ | 7/19/18 | Benny Johnson

At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.

“Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got,” Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.

Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, “There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”

“We’re going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track,” Obama continued “We’re going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level.”

Obama continued on income inequality, saying, “History shows that societies which tolerate vast differences in wealth feed resentments and reduce solidarity and actually grow more slowly. And when economic power is concentrated in the hands of the few, history also shows that political power is sure to follow and that dynamic eats away at democracy.” After the speech calling for rich people to get smaller houses, Obama traveled back to America and to his $8.1 million eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half bathroom mansion in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world.

Seriously you can't make this stuff up. It's like something out of The Onion and if we had an unbiased media and entertainment industry this would be laughed at everywhere.

The left proclaims that Obama is their “Lord ands Savior” so he deserves it.

I don’t see the Kenyanesian Usurper cutting back his travel and house size.

But then communist agitators never really believe the bilge they spew.

Of course they don’t believe their own propaganda. It’s all the proof you need that “global warming” is a scam. If the people like 0bama, Algore and Leonardo Dicrapio really belived it was real, they wouldn’t live as they do.

How does he make $20 million while in the WH? Not legally you can be sure...

Willing to bet that this $20 million is, as usual, far from the truth...More likely double that at least...
