He only got out of MASSIVE DEBT just recently when his book (The Audacity of Hope) became a best seller.

chicago sun times 4-16-08 wrote:PHILADELPHIA — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and wife Michelle have earned almost $7 million since he was elected to the Senate in 2004, with the couple reporting more than $4 million in income for 2007, according to returns released Wednesday.

The couple reported total 2007 income of $4,238,165, of which $3,943,378 was profit from his best-sellers Dreams From My Father, his memoir reissued in 2004 when his political career started to skyrocket, and The Audacity of Hope, published in 2006.

Minotaur thinks that because Obama and his wife took out loans for their Harvard and Princeton educations ( so they could get high-paying jobs immediately after graduation ), that means that Obama has experienced the same debt realities as Americans who have to borrow constantly to make up for what their jobs don't pay them, in the economy destroyed by the globalist criminals that Obama works for and Minotaur shills for.

Minotaur: lied about the size of the debt, lied about the category of the debt, lied about the duration of the debt, lied about when the debt was retired.

.pdf's of most of Obama's returns are available here. Obama has been making a lot of money for a long time.

From the New York Times (yesterday's New York Times):

Maureen Dowd on April 16th, 2008 wrote:Obama did not grow up in cosseted circumstances. “Now when is the last time you’ve seen a president of the United States who just paid off his loan debt?” Michelle Obama asked Tuesday at Haverford College, referring to Barack’s student loans while speaking in the shadow of the mansions depicted in “The Philadelphia Story.”


People go into debt to get a college education. You would have been wise to get one yourself.

I'm not trying to be racist or anything, I just don't think the country is ready for a mythical monster President.

I recently saw a headline saying this: Obama says debate focused on "gotcha" not policy issues. It's a bad thing to say, but it reminded me of you.

I'm not out to get you, but I will say this, Rick: You used to have something to say, and now you're just full of shit. You spend all this time playing gotcha with other people, and it gets you nowhere.
