I might believe Obama if he canceled his multimillion dollar Chicago shrine to himself and redirected funds to housing and redevelopment for the South Side ghetto.

From the Chicago Tribune (1/23/2018):

Obama’s library will not be an official governmental “presidential library” at all. Instead, it will be a private “presidential center,” and will not house the textual documents, artifacts and audio-visual materials that memorialize the eight-year Obama administration. There will be little point for students, scholars and other researchers coming to Chicago if this material isn’t here.
You see the real library will be located somewhere else. The Chicago "library" is not a library at all but an architectural hagiography, a Taj Mahal, a temple to Obama.

If we had an opposition party he could not have usurped the office.

The GOP went along with the Kenyanesian Usurpation because they had a stable full of ineligible candidates, particularly George P. Bush.

People,ones who think anyway,know he’s full of crap & pay little attention to what he says. Learn more by watching what he’s doing & by the things he’s NOT saying.

“After the speech calling for rich people to get smaller houses”

To build a big house really isn’t that much more expensive than building a modest house in a prime area.

$1 million lot + $300,000 modest house = $1.3 million

$1 million lot + $600,000 large house = $1.6 million

The houses aren’t going to get smaller just because Obama thinks rich people should live in smaller houses.

In the past big houses of the rich got converted into big rooming houses for immigrants and people starting out, but this is no longer legally possible in most areas.

All of his documents will be sequestered until after both Barack and Michelle are dead in order to avoid criminal prosecution.

In a city that has many beautiful homes, leave it to those dummies to get something out of The Addams Family. The interior looks like a catalog from Crate & Barrel.

The “wealthy,” AKA hard-working successful people, create an endless amount of jobs and give away countless billions to charity.

Who is this commie Kenyan to tell them “you have enough money?” Who is he to tell other people how to spend what THEY earn?

Wish he would stay in South Africa.

Funny how Mueller's team can dig up transcripts of President Trump's conversations with women he has dated. But the FBI can't come up with an authentic birth certificate or college transcripts for Obozo?

The only way anyone can become a non-person without a past, without a paper trail, is by goverenmental collusion at the highest levels. How can someone go though every level of education and yet no one remembers Obama until he gets to Harvard? No friends, no teachers, no mentors, a complete zero.

Obama is the man without a past.

“share their earnings with the less fortunate”

Let’s imagine sharing the earnings of the Fortune 500 CEO’s.

Here’s $150 each year for you, and you and you, etc. Have I got all 330 million Americans?

It’s not going to do the trick.

Let’s go to the hedge fund districts around Greenwich, CT and do some plucking too.

Here’s $200 each year for you, and you and you, etc.

It’s not going to do the trick.

Let’s go to Bezo’s place.

Here’s $300 one time for you, and you and you, etc.

Let’s go to Zuckerberg’s place.

Here’s $150 one time for you, and you and you, etc.

I imagine he approves of the South African government seizing farms from the “whites”.

"“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."

If you've got more than $20 million -- you didn't earn that. Somebody else made that happen.

BO’s thought process works so well in Cuba and Venezuela: all that solidarity, democracy and economic growth.

Why are people struggling?

Mainly because of housing costs.

Why is there a problem with housing costs?

Because of commuting time.

In the DC area it is easy to spend about 45 minutes commuting each way.

Imagine a well-educated person who makes $100,000/year in DC.

That 45 minutes is worth $38 one-way or $76 each work day.

To reduce the time wasted in commuting, that well-educated person might be willing to pay a $75/day housing cost premium. And he/she might be married to a like-minded person. Together they might be willing to pay $150/day not to commute long distance.

Close-in properties become very expensive.

That $150/day in close-in value is more than even a person earning $15/hour or $120/day can pay.

Single people eventually will get priced out of top metropolitan areas.

Even two people earning $15/hour will struggle.

How did the fund raising money end up in BO’s hands? When he was fund raising for just his re-election campaign or was it also for when he raised money for the dem party did that give him license for him to personally take a cut?

When they redecorated the Oval Office, I thought it looked as ordinary as a UC safe space room.

Guessing he might have skimmed off some of the billions on that pallet to Iran.

Those DC swamp dwellers would have their time better served listening to RUsh/ Hannity and Levin during their long commutes. That would set them right.
