One-Third of Obama’s Earnings 2009-2011 From Foreign Sources
Breitbart ^ | 7/16/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 07/17/2012 7:17:49 AM PDT by Baynative

During the time that President Obama has been in office, he has earned some $2,711,340 from foreign sources. That’s 30.1 percent of Obama’s total income during that time. During that period, Obama forked over $87,429 to foreign countries. Most of that cash comes from book sales. That’s an inordinately large amount of money coming from overseas – far more than the typical American, certainly. And the question becomes whether President Obama is outsourcing his book sales. After all, why not pay American tax rates on that income? Why not ship from the United States, rather than printing abroad?

We probably won't hear about this in the government controlled media...

Any foreign contacts, business, property ownership or income has to be declared on my SF86.

It causes my clearance adjudication to take much longer than normal and could, in some cases, cause it to be denied.

It’s good to be king.

These are the books which have how many lies in them? Guess people at home and abroad really want to read fiction.

I’m bettting the appropriate Hussein Head response is, “TWO-THIRDS of His Holiness’ income came from USA”!

Te first question that comes to me is:

“That is an inordinately high....”

Why? Why do foreigners thirst for obummer books?

Certainly heads of state who are trying to understand who they are dealing with...

But they should not generate such high numbers.

So the obvious question is whether the sales are real or whether they are being used as a cover for illegal payments, donations, etc.

Newt Gingrich was crucified because of book sales/contracts deemed to be inappropriate.

Let's see if the lib press has any interest in where this money really came from.

After all, we are dealing with Chicago ethics.

That level of foreign books sales on his carp imagined memoirs is hard to believe.

It’s not like he hasn’t earned their campaign dollars. He has spread the wealth of America’s future around.

China say, “You need donation? Can’t do that. Illegal. But we buy 1 million book. Any language. No matter cause we just going to throw them away. You can even forget about the printing. Blank paper OK. School kids can use for notebook.”

Prease excuse the rack of ‘L’s turned into ‘R’s.

Duh, were these then “Out-Sourced Earnings?”

Did he really pay his “fair share” of foreign taxes?

How many foreign jobs were involved in these out-sourced earnings of the Creepy Kenyan?

One-third?

I’d like to see that increase to 100% in 2013.

Isn’t there need for a pooper-scooper in Kenya or perhaps Malaysia?

Book sales and speaking engagements are two very effective ways to pay off politicians.

Barry is many things, most of them illegal and/or disgusting, but unless he self-pubbed this book, then the publishers is making out. Barry would only get royalties. He is still getting maybe 25% of retail, no small change, but where the books are printed and sold is the publisher’s business.

That’s just what was above the table. You can bet there’s many times more that he pocketed under the table.
