Obama gives away $1.4M Nobel prize

Obama gives away money he didn't earn, what a stretch.

Vice President Cheney gives away a third of his earned income to Charity every year. He gave $8,000,000 to Charity when he received his Deferred Compensation from Haliburton.

President Bush gives 25% of his income to Charity every year.

Bill Clinton gave his used underwear to Charity. Then Vice President Al Gore gave $400 to Charity. Before becoming President, Obama gave only 2% of his earnings to Charity.

[Revolting cat!]

Why shouldn’t doofus give it away? American taxpayers are providing him and his (at least) first generation descendants with worry free lives forever, even the Queen of England, and tin pot dictators in his dear native land don’t get such a sweet deal. He won’t have to lay eyes on another dollar bill or even a credit card for the rest of his miserable life. Then come the book deals for books he’ll “author” and never read, lecture fees, did I forget anything?

ROFL

He is selling the meaningless Nobel prize he got for doing nothing. Giving the proceeds to the Haitian’s is the least he can do. He had done nothing to earn it until selling it.

[Revolting cat!]

Giving the proceeds to the Haitian’s is the least he can do.

How about giving something to the Society for the Proper Use of Apostropohes?

Oh geezzz.

Obama hates white people. You notice he gave to the black and Hispanic college funds.

What a poser. If he had honor and/or a conscience he would have given it back or declined to accept it.

Note to the media: Show us the checks changing hands. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for Roger Clinton and Hugh Rodham to pay back the Pardon gate kickback.

[RazzPutin]

Now he can afford to send three-fitty to his Bro George in the tin shack in Kenya.

[FreedomCalls]

Given that the prize was awarded to Barack Obama as an individual prize and not to whoever is in the Office of the President of the US, he should have reimbursed the government for the cost of taking him on a private trip to Oslo same as he would if it were a Presidential vacation. Did he?

[sionnsar]

I'm surprised he didn't give it to Planned Barrenhood. LOL!!!!!!!

[Never on my watch]

How does he have so much of the $1.4M to give away?

Shouldn’t he have payed at least $600K in income tax? Or doesn’t that apply to him?

"...they're a different breed of people. They're a different breed of cat. They volunteer to protect and defend the country. Ninety-nine percent of us wouldn't do it. Ninety-nine percent of us don't think about it. They do. Thank God for them, and God bless them -- and look what happens to them when they do."

What he said. Much love to our bad*ss Military!

At least Bill Gates earned his money so it’s his to spend.

Easy come, easy go. Chump change when you are getting to wreck America and stick it to whitey.
