  1. I would say he is wealthy. But at least he probably knows how many homes he owns.


  2. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wants to raises taxes on the wealthy, but as a member of that social class, he isn't eager to fall victim himself. He has invested at least $1 million in a fund that yields tax-free income.

    The Illinois senator's latest campaign-finance disclosure shows that his investments have nearly tripled in the past two years to as much as $7.4 million, and his income in 2007 surged past $4 million, not counting his government salary.

    At least McCain says everyone should have the oppty to be wealthy,

    or you can be bigots like the O's

    "We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we're asking young people to do," she told a group of women at a day-care center. "Don't go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry

    What Michelle Obama didn't mention during the Zanesville visit is that she's done pretty well by helping herself to a sizeable slice of "helping industry" money at the University of Chicago Hospital.Employed as vice president for community affairs, Mrs. Obama's annual compensation jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office.  

  3. He knows that he is wealthy.  He has never said otherwise.  For one of the previous posters, he didn't pay 4 million for a home.

  4. Do you need to come on here and ask stupid questions?

    Let's see. Obama's standards- wealthy = $42,000+

    McCain was joking and I think you know it.

  5. According to McCain he's not wealthy

  6. you don't recognize sarcasim when you hear it. it is such a gross exaggeration, mccain assumed you would get it. but you don't, do you?  

  7. Poor according McCain and rich according to Obama

    I think that he's rich,and they both are. We know that McCain is definitely super rich

  8. Obama is definantly not middle class, neither is McCain..

    Funny, Obama just bought a mansion for $4 million...

    I think they are both on the same standards.

  9. according to mccain's $ 5 million mark, barack is just middle class.

    by barack's own measure he's pretty well off.  and he's still looking out for the 'little guy' - go figure.

  10. He has always said he is wealthy, so he is.

  11. The democrats think anyone who makes over the poverty level is wealthy and should be taxed accordingly. But the elites should be exempt because they are soooooo smart.

  12. Ther is no IF. He is rich. So what, they all are. I wonder if he will tax himself to death.

  13. Hussein Obama is a poor black man

    He tells us so every day

  14. They are both filthy rich, dont try and separate the 2

    McCain 08

  15. Remember, he said he knew how we, the middle class, felt. Obviously he was wrong.

  16. Not according to John McCain.

    You need 5 million to be wealthy.

    McCain also thinks the recession we are having is just fine.  He is being supported by his rich wife so he has "no" worries.

  17. I didn't know that.  How out of touch with the common working man obama must be.

  18. how did he make 4 mill as a senator do they get paid that much.

  19. That was just the allowance Cindy gave him too.

  20. Sad part is, they found Barrack Hussien's Obama half brother living in a cardboard shack in Africa.  He thinks we should raise taxes to help our poor, yet doesn't even support his own family.

    True Story...look it up

  21. Name me one US President who could be consdered "poor" and a member of the common folk ?   The difference is McCain admits he is rich Obama tries to hide the fact and pretend he is something he is not. Just as he has his entire personal and political life hes a phony.  The former McCain is a successful realist the latter Obama is a hypocritcal idealist .

  22. who cares how much he made? you must be jealous and envious. shame on you.

  23. McCain said that his comment would be taken out of context, I see that you did just that. I make a 6 figure salary, not as much as Obama would say that would make me rich but enough so that McCain's tax plan lets me keep more of my money than Obama's tax plan. Even with my salary I find it difficult to understand how families making less manage to survive, perhaps it is that I live in California and everything is expensive. Where I live $1,000,000 will buy you a fairly nice house but that is about it. A million bucks isn't what it used to be

    Believe me, Obama is rich by anyone standard and so is McCain. I would venture to say that all of our congressmen and women are pretty well off.
