Lucky pick: Ex-Google techie

“Would you please raise my taxes?” said the man, who said he had “worked for a small startup down the street here” and had chosen to be unemployed.

Techies on Twitter said that balding man with glasses is Doug Edwards, Google’s former marketing executive and author of “I’m Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59.”

Obama called on Edwards almost serendipitously — the president was prompted by the moderator, who had been choosing the questioners, to pick someone in the audience. After he said he was put “on the spot,” Obama called on “the man in the glasses.”

A quick search turned up 66 donations from Edwards – all to Democrats or Democratic groups – in the last three election cycles. In all, those donations total more than $230,000. Hmmm Politico fact checking the 0ne?

[newzjunkey]

Just a coincidence I’m sure. /s

Nothing stopping him from right now sending Barry a check written on some of that Google stock option money.

Does Bamster and the MSM really think we're so stupid we won't check this stuff out? Are they that out of tune with what is happening? Simply amazing!

They didn't think we'd notice they were selling guns to the Zetas, why would they think we'd notice anything else?

Absolutely. And I doubt you'll see the material presented here anywhere other than VRWC sites.

They should make a 25% stupid tax on total net worth for any rich idiot that spouts this crap.

Rich Guy: "Would you please raise my taxes? I'm just too stupid to mail a check in on my own."

Obama: "Only if you already owe the IRS over one billion dollars in unpaid back taxes dating back to 2002."

[Boardwalk]

“Please raise my taxes”

You are free to give more.

[Aria]

His entire net worth is not even 1/5th of the Solyndra $ Obama stole from us.

Maybe this fool would like to make for part of that by writing a 100M check.

[Night Hides Not]

Just a coincidence I’m sure. /s

At least he wasn't mistaken for a Jewish janitor...

[GeronL]

Okay, lets cut income taxes and do a one time net worth tax on liberal multi-millionaires.

lol.

What would Buffett think of that?

[DouglasKC]

Wow what are the odds?

These town hall meetings are nothing but fake faith healing revival meetings.

[All Blue State]

More like trying to sale snake oil.
