Exactly what does Congress have to do with the fact that his kids start back to school on Monday?

Isn't Obama always the one preaching about education? Was he not the one that suggested longer school days? Now he's going to set an example to his own kids that education is only important when it doesn't impede their fathers agenda? Sounds like a hypocrite to me. Why don't we all just help our kids skip school! A good attendance record is not that important!

Hey kids and parents! Take Monday and Tuesday off too! Two weeks Christmas vacation was not enough!

Well Obama sure seems to be concerned about my kid's education. Hell he is even trying to force our nations children into a voluntary involuntary Give Act. 

I am sure there was plenty of time for Obama to take his kids on vacation and teach them about his birthplace on his own dime, of course I doubt he would have had as much fan-fare 3 years ago. No matter, he will have a whole bunch of time to go jet-setting around the world with his family after the 2012 elections!

Why doesn't Obama spend large amounts of time at his home in Chicago like Bush did at his ranch in Texas?

May I remind you his home is not in Hawaii, it's in Chicago Illinois.

If Obama claims his home is Hawaii, then why isn't his HOUSE located in Hawaii? And if Obama is spending time showing his children his birthplace, why doesn't he take them over to Jakarta Indonesia and show them his romping grounds where he attended school?

Here is Obama's home-

However I have been reading that the house really doesn't belong to Obama, and as of 2008 the owner is in fact a guy by the name of William Miceli who was a former supervisor when Obama worked at the David law firm. Furthermore there seems to have been a $1,320,000.00 Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac Mortgage on it. This information comes from the Cook County Clerks office c/o this link right here  http://www.bloggernews.net/119006 which also claims that he is $903,000 over the legal limit for that kind of Freddie Mac assistance.

Now I welcome you to de-bunk this, but as it stands I am not too impressed with Obama. I personally think that had he not won his election bid for President he would be just another person upside down in his home. Some even claim that he is just another poor minority living in Government housing. I myself wouldn't go that far, but I think the statement has merit.

Where did Obama's money come from? Oh yeah, everyone claims it came from book sales, but it's funny I don't ever see anyone reading them, and the ones in the stores seem rather dusty and overstocked. I guess I'll have to leave that for another thread.

So now PowerStroker, would you care to explain to me what you meant by that comment about Obama visiting Camp David? Perhaps you could show me some photos of GW Bush's home and maybe some links that indicate what he owes on it, along with any details pertaining to Fannie or Freddie assistance.

Thanks in advance!

Bush felt the need to pretend that chopping wood and clearing brush was actually a part of his life...  Obama doesn't bother with theatrics.

LOFL! You mean Obama does not like to work!? Outside of running his mouth.



Interesting how after Bush left office, and didn't need to pretend to be a cowboy, he just moved in to a whites only gated community full of multi million dollar homes, for which he doesn't have a mortgage at all.  It must be nice being born in to a several hundred million dollar political family.

Are you saying that Bush isn't a Cowboy? Did you send that memo to all your Democrat buddies? Because last time I checked they LOVED calling him a Cowboy.

While it must be nice to be born into a several hundred million dollar family, I wouldn't know anything about it. Your comment about his gated community full of white people shows you are a racist. How would you know? Have you been there? Got any data to back up them racist claims?

No need to remind me of his relocation. 

Well the whole reason I responded was because before you edited your comment you said something about "Obama showing his kids his home in Hawaii". You could have fooled me!

One's home isn't always the same as their place of birth.

DUH! That's quite obvious in Obama's case!

He was born in Hawaii, but makes his home in Chicago.

He was allegedly born in Hawaii, were still trying to get the long form remember? And by the way, the last time I checked it was William Miceli's house in Chicago, then again that was in 2008 BEFORE he got elected President. I am sure by the time his records get un-sealed it will be Obama's house.



I would like you to post a link from a CREDIBLE news organization that shows otherwise.  And by credible, you know what my expectations are.

Um... What am I trying to show otherwise again?

New York Times best sellers.  He also had a career as a Constitutional Law professor, and he was a state senator and US senator prior to becoming President.  All of those jobs pay pretty well.  Michelle is a lawyer too you know. 

New York times best sellers!? Can you provide some PROOF to back that up with some sales numbers? Anything after his running for President and being elected don't count as they were simply a tool to vet the candidate considering all his files were sealed.

With regards to him being Senator, If I recall he wasn't very good at that either. Pretty much he voted "Present" most of the time and really offered no real vote either way.

Are we talking about the same Michelle who was disbarred? Er... I mean the one who the Supreme Court of Chicago ordered her to be on "Inactive Status"? Damn them sealed files!

Pft... You ain't got a leg to stand on here PowerStroker!
LOL!

Junior's home:


I can't imagine a multi-millionaire like Bush would owe any money on a little shack like this. 

So by your rationale it's better to buy more home than you can afford with Government assistance, than to live within your means by buying a smaller home? Oh dear... I guess we know what direction this nation is headed!

Even if he did have to pay extra to make sure there weren't any black people nearby.

Got any PROOF of that PowerStroker? Are you sure your not a racist? Are you Black Panther perhaps? Because without any PROOF, that's a pretty racist opinion to have formed all on your own.

I rather like the idea the Obama actually has a mortgage like the rest of us. 

Having a mortgage is one thing, being almost a million dollars over the limit for Freddei Mac assistance is a whole nother issue. Didn't the Government bail out these two lenders? Now I can see why! What an example he sets!

My Camp David comment was meant to insinuate that he will win his 2012 re-election.

You are aware that Obama has visited Camp David 15 times since taking office for a total of 35 days there, don't you? I just thought I would let you know so you don't look like an idiot somewhere it's important. LOL CBSnews is a credible news desks according to your standards right?

I don't see how that law back in 1945 was inconsistent with other ignorant laws of that day regarding blacks. You have to remember that community was in the deep South, and really the Bush family didn't have anything to do with getting that law on the books. It did however get repealed a year before Bush entered office, so it's not like his decsion to move into that community in or around 2009 had anything to do with hating black people.

Additionally there are many places all over the nation that have had similar laws that discriminated against black people, all of them laws in their day were wrong, but would you classify anyone living in a state that was pro-slavery back in the day to be racist? I am sure there are LOTS of black folks living in these States today, are they racist?

I don't think Bush hates the working class at all PowerStroker. I think his decision to live in that gated community was made because he is getting old, and he knows that as more years pass he will be unable to perform the many chores that a big ranch requires. Much like how senior citizens move into Condo's or retirement communities, they do so because they do not want to burden love ones with chores, nor do they wish to go broke paying someone else to do them.

While I agree the Katrina hurricanes were devastating you must acknowledge that they were a natural disaster, and no one had any idea how deeply the region had been effected. I feel certain that Bush would have NEVER intended for the outcome that we were dealt, and he even admits to this day that his underestimation of that natural disaster was one of his biggest mistakes, and to me that takes a lot of guts. While response was slow, but when word was out about how serious the disaster was he got on top of the crisis and gave it all that he had. Their was no "Intent" on Bush's part to deprive these people aid.

With regards to Rich folks looking down on lesser fortunate folks.... Well I agree with you there! They are a bit smug at times, and there is no sweeter joy than showing up some rich dude in areas that money is only half the battle. You can not buy Skill, Looks or Love. There is a host of other things that you can not buy.

What bothers me the most are poor people (like Obama) who come into wealth and then start thinking they are better than everyone else. Like they almost forget where they come from and who they were. If I ever get rich and turn into that kind of person I hope my friends and family remind me who I was.
