The Obamas are ‘Becoming’ a billion-dollar brand

Obama will likely become the first ex-president billionaire

The defense rests.....

So he wasn't telling anyone else they weren't allowed to buy anything. He was reflecting on his own personal wealth and made an off the cut comment about how he feels he has enough of it now and how he could and should do more for the poor.

Bill Gates always talks about wealth inequality being a major problem and how the rich should be giving more and paying a lot more in taxes. Is he a huge hypocrite because he lives in a $130 million dollar mansion and flies a private Bombardier?

see your problem is thinking that a $12M home is too big, when i think it would have to be like a $50M home to qualify as hypocrisy

its a subjective standard

i mean, if he buys the nice bread at the store - is that hypocrisy?

what about a $9M house? $5?

$2M?

wheres the line? how much is obama allowed to spend on a house without being a hypocrite, in your opinion?

Lol no, it's moving the goalposts.

Lmao, post childish memes and is concerned about other people’s colored squares. Cultbot confirmed!

[KINGFABIAN]

Great job for Obama, didn’t need a loan from daddy Warbucks, run a scam university, hide his tax returns or sell $hitty clothes made in overseas sweatshops to make it to his current level. Haters gonna hate!
Started from the bottom now we here! Started from the bottom now the whole friggin team is here!

[anonymous]

King Cuck thankfully no longer posts here but he stinks things up from the sidelines by repping the worst posters for Drumpfposting

[sandaltan]

Lol no, it's moving the goalposts.

its not moving the goalposts, its asking where the goalposts are

literally nobody has answered my ultra basic question:

how much is obama allowed to spend on a house before he becomes a hypocrite, in your opinion

nobody will answer cuz they cant

and they cant because hes not a hypocrite

[StoliFun]

I cannot believe a former POTUS would write books, do paid speeches, etc., making millions of dollars and buying big houses with their money. In all seriousness, this is the norm. Yes, former POTUS's have big houses, especially since they have bases for secret service on their properties. People should have whatever size house they want. No one wants rich people to stop spending their money on lavish things. We want rich people to spend money because it stimulates the economy. But I fail to see how living in a big house means that you can't believe that someone who makes $1 billion per year should pay more in social security tax than someone who makes $120k. This is America and everyone should have the opportunity to earn as much money as they want, but it doesn't mean the wealthy should benefit over regular workers through tax caps, capital gains tax, and tax loopholes just because they are wealthier.

^^ This guy gets it.

Book Deals are a money laundering scam.

Example: Person in a position of power (or a relative) gets a book deal. Money can be in a huge upfront payment or a percentage of books sold, or combination of both.
Books are bought in bulk by company/person who wants access to person in power, who then gives the books away for free. This used to be a popular tactic with Unions, but now a ton of people do it.
There are lots of variations of this, but you get the jist.

He's not wrong, there are all sorts of different methods for collecting on political QPQ. Just look at what Obama reaped from attending various events and "speaking". You can't act like powerful individuals don't abuse a wide variety of loopholes to line their pocket book. Obama was in a very powerful position and that comes with a lot of influence. Can't tell me he never once used that to benefit himself or those around him. Everyone does it, even Trump.

just lol at thinking former prez using fame to get a book deal = current prez tangling taxpayer funded military aide in exchange for harming personal political rival

Price is a part of the calc, but so also is the size of the house and amount of land it resides on... lol at ~$12million, 7,000sqft, 30+acre HOME not being excessive and being subjective....

*edit - for your info, IDGAF that he's using his past position to be successful, I am laughing at the virtue signaling going on here.

if he wasn't all about: the underprivileged, spread the wealth, etc. then i wouldn't look twice. the fact he had an interview talking about having too much then going out and being excessive is what has me raising an eyebrow.

He could have spent most any number less than this $12 million 7k sq ft mansion that he actually bought. The key is modesty..

But for shiits and giggles lets say he really had his heart set on Martha's Vineyard.. Here's one for $899k

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...56025021_zpid/

But you can't pander to the fuking Berniebots about wealth inequality and then buy a $12mil house lol.

This..

A $12mil house is the fuking American dream...

[miscinbro]

Are you literally ****ing retarded? What business did he run to become this rich? Oh he didnt have one you say? Oh right he used POLITICAL connections and corruption to gain all this money you say?

Book deals were most of it.

[EctoCanuck]

The economy and the wealthy always do better under Democrats...













Don't believe me? Listen to President Hissyfit...




So Obama hates the wealthy so much he created more Millionaires than all other Presidents combined???

That's enough internet for you tonight Trumpers.

The lawyer has really lost his marbles, he wasn't always like this. I wonder what happened?

[OptimistPrime11]

Who keeps repping you?

The mods here keep repping the far left posters.

Not because they believe what the leftists are saying, I mean lets face it most of them are completely off their rocker, but because they know if the leftists here keep posting-which they will do when they get repped, that amounts to about 10% of all posts in the R & P thread, and that means many more clicks, views, and responses from the righties here in response.

It's all about the money.

More drama=more $.

I would say anywhere over a $million would make the average American view Obama, or almost any politician, view them in a negative light. Especially if the politician is a Dem, which has a party line against making large amounts of money.

[Weightaholic]

How the hell does a career politician have more than a hundred million?

A question you should ask of so many politicians....

[LoveMyDog]

all politicians are hypocrites and anyone who believes a politician is a fool so they are a match made in hell

[HoganIsGOAT]

How many undocumented immigrants and refugees will he be housing in all of those extra bedrooms?

[sandaltan]

im sorry i called you a socialist dave

but i mean you do collect taxpayer welfare as a salary

[Bushmaster]

The economy and the wealthy always do better under Democrats..

Says the one who e-brags about his step father's money.

Shame you can't take advantage of that yourself.

Edit: Wait... I thought that was reason #2,657 why Trump pissed you all off so bad? "Rich are getting richer! Tax breaks for the rich! One percent! Wall street! Rich people are bad! Rage!"

So which is it? Trump can't be bad because rich people - while at the same time you bask in post-coital bliss because Democrat rich people.
