That was my though too.
1.8 to 12 million is a big gap. Somone is keeping close tabs LOL.

Community organising is a great business to be in.

Sounds like a good time to spread the wealth.

Good point. It appears to me that the nature of Obama's wealth is exactly what he has been criticizing his whole life. Obama has produced nothing of value. He has provided no extraordinary services. He has achieved his wealth largely through flim flam. Let us see how much of his wealth he divests from himself. Doesn't he have a half brother that lives in a tar paper shack? I sure am glad Obama isn't my brother.

Have you read the interview at Post&Email with Susan Daniels?

She explains that Obama may have been involved in something fraudulent that made him a great deal of money - more than what any of us have been led to believe.

About a year ago a leak out of the White House claimed that the Obama’s were sending money to a bank in Dubai. They may, in fact, be far wealthier than any of us realize.

It is the new way. It used to be make a big campaign contribution and when I leave office I turn my campaign funds into income [change in laws now prevent that]. The book is the great way to do it. How many people have you ever seen with the “Dreams of My Father” book. How could he even know what his father’s dreams were? He met the guy once for ten minutes. The only dream his father had was bedding his students and leaving them with child. Both of his books served to line his pockets with cash money. My guess, Soros bought pallets of the books and burnt them,

Does anybody wonder how a community organizer/state senator can acquire that much in assets so quickly?

Cattle futures?

It won't be nearly enough to make restitution for the damage he has done.

I think Obama might have been the first one to profit from the Nigerian inheritance scheme.

I’d sure like to see the income statements documenting how this guy accumulated that kind of wealth. It would seem a comprehensive tax audit could answer a lot of questions.

$1.8 million to $12 million?

My ass....

There are BILLIONS missing from TARP, PORKULUS I and II

The man is so dishonest and deceitful, I can’t help but think he has some of it.

The more I think about it, Obama has always criticized the accumulation of wealth by those that have actually produced something. His wealth comes from his political power. He pits one side against another, and profits from it. He is worse than useless, IMHO.

Well, now he has to change political parties. He’s always yammering about those rich Republican millionaires, and now he is one.

Reminds me of John Glenn. Glenn was Bankrupt after his first run for office. After getting elected to the Senate and after a full career there he retired with a net wealth north of $16 Million. Not bad for never making over $125K in salary.

Community Organizer, probably about $75 to $100k per year.

State Senator, probably about $90 to $125k per year.

U.S. Senator, about $125 to $175k per year.

Being President? Priceless...

Was there a chapter in the book titled, “Please don’t leave me passed out drunk on a public highway where I’ll be run over like a dog?”

Good. Now that he has enough money, he can quit his job.

I have been developing a theory that Barack Obama is nothing but a con artist. No, no, hear me out. I know that nearly every politician in America is basically a con artist. What I am suggesting about Barack Obama, is that he has always been a flim flam man. His mysterious past, his ability to smooth talk himself into positions where he can get his hands on other peoples money.

His goal, I theorize, was to become the greatest con man in history. His whole career is a set up. He is working the Big Con. And when he is through, he will write a book about how he hoodwinked everyone - how a no account cocaine fiend named Barry Soetoro scammed his way into the White House and made off with millions. And he will get away with scot free.
