Full title.............................Obama accepted $30,000 in gifts during his last year in the White House – including a replica Super Bowl trophy..............During his last year in office, President Barack Obama accepted $30,000 worth of personal gifts, including a replica of the Vince Lombardi trophy,new disclosure forms reveal.

The most valuable item was a five volume set of Obama's family genealogy, worth $8,300 and given to him by Thomas Monson, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Obama also received presents from celebrities, including comedian Whoopi Goldberg and baseball great Hank Aaron.

If you think that’s all the Obama’s took, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell ya’!

HA! You gotta love the Mormon sense of humor.

[Maverick68]

I wonder what was the Preezy’s take from that pallet full of unaccounted for Iranian cash?

[Carriage Hill]

“...a five volume set of Obama’s family genealogy...”

Could have put the whole thing on a 3x5 card.

"Hank Aaron"

He was my hero as a kid, but the libs finally got to him.

[DannyTN]

I wonder who they said his father was?

[Huntress]

How do you set a value for a multivolume family geneology? The cost of research, compilation, and printing?

[sport]

And had 90% of the space left over.

[ilovesarah2012]

Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.

[Gaffer]

Fiction isn’t my thing

[MHT]

I wonder about its accuracy or real market value. They baptized my dead grandmother eight times, each with a different spelling and some inaccurate birth and death dates.

[NEMDF]

The books are probably only worth $2.95 each, but then they gilded the edges of the paper.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me."

It probably isn't - none of it seems to have any political implications. But if Trump did the same, the MSM would be parsing it, critiquing it, scandalizing it, and threatening impeachment.

> If you think that’s all the Obama’s took, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell ya’!

They expect us to believe that's all he received when he has handed out U.S. taxpayer's funds to Iran and other Muslim nations, ISIS, terrorist groups posing as faux refugees, golfing, multimillion dollar vacations. R i i i i ight...

[Professional]

If it had been Hillary? $300,000,000,000.00 in “gifts”....

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

There are very specific federal laws against public officials receiving gifts.

I saw a First Sergeant drummed out of the Army in disgrace because one of his Soldiers gave him a cell phone.

[ilovesarah2012]

I am sure they would. I would just be happy to never hear Obama’s name or see his picture again.

[MSF BU]

So does the genealogy indicate Frank Marshall Davis as the father?

actually since the Mormons did the genealogy, its worthless...they don’t source their “research” and they just put anything...

those “five volumes” would all be on the Dunham side, his white mother’s people, and should include Loyalists of the American Revolution (proven by the UELAC*)but no Patriots...
