Yeah, but not as much as multi-million hubby Johnny McCain, huh Rob?

That's only cause Obama's wife isn't a trollop. Besides, with John running for the WH, Cindi has to buy her drugs, not just steal them from a charity.

"Quick, Bill! You need to go get another $800,000 fee to advocate for a trade agreement I 'oppose'! The Obama's are catching up!"

-HRC

Actually EP...it says Cindy has a pre nup. So Mac is kinda like that manwhore Kerry.

He's a piker compared to the Clintons but I guess he is a lot younger so he has time.

Does a pre nup prevent him from enjoying the money while they are married? Is 100 year Johnny getting divorced???

Kerrin,
Didya get the link I sent you yesterday about HDTV?

At what point did we decide politcians of ANY stripe and their appointees are worth this much?
GHB is still riding the same gravy train Bubba is on and Reagan would have put them both to shame if his brain hadn't turned to mush before he left office. Liobraries, Foundations, whatever crap they can come up with. And then there are the Cabinet has-beens.
Who knows how much some rwing publisher like Rupert is going to advance Dubya for his semi-biograhical coloring book when he leaves office...

Great ! Twisted my knee jumping off the bobcat last night...so I'll have plenty of time to study up. Thanks !

The success of Barrack's books makes him an elitist. The fact that he is now rich proves he could never have understood what it is not to be rich. One would think that we would want a president who is successful, who wasn't born with a silver spoon in their nose. Funny thing folks, the founding fathers were elitists too.

Ah, the bounty that America bestows on its solons should make us all proud.

Now remember - pay very close attention, "These are NOT elites," and anyone who says they are, is trying to divert you from considering the "real" issues, which are calculated by considering, "What have you done for me, lately?"

Public service seems to provide satisfactory monetary compensation, so that "these men and women of the people" can experience your daily concerns with empathy, if not from a peronal perspective.

Is a system that so enriches "public servants" corrupt by definition?

And these folks have "mentors." Rezko was recruited by the Nation of Islam to support the black candidate for Mayor of Chicago, later Mayor Washington, and received favors in return. Rezko embraced Obama, who also is supported by the black racist Nation of Islam. There seems to be a union of ideology and personal financial aggrandizement to enrich participants and provide them with power by fair means or "foul."

Speaking of "fowl," remember the Clinton - Tyson connection.


Who walks on water?

These people are using government to secure access to and provide funds to corrupt supporters, who then in one form or another provide political support to them so that they can obtain and retain office. There is reciprocation between the candidate and members of his corrupt support network so that public money flows between them, or laws are altered to provide special niches for their ultimate mutual benefit.

Should these people be running for office, or should they share the theme song, which should be describing their situation, "I'm in the Jailhouse Now."


Maybe Chairman Mao did China a favor with his program that purged the elites. Well, they were purged for a short time anyway, before statis was restored, and people resumed their proper place in the reestablished hierarchy.

Was it always thus?

Twisted my knee jumping off the bobcat last night

I didn't know you were into that.

Far as I can tell, the he arguments against Barney O'Bama are that he's articulate (surely the most articulate presidential candidate since Adlai), intelligent (same) and someone doesn't like something his minister once said.

And Kerrin: "Twisted my knee jumping off the bobcat last night..." Bob is your - er - mate? Or a pet word for - well - you know?

Johnson used a lot of words to say ... what? herm

Goofy boys...a skidsteer . No mohr jokes from y'all either.

I still say elitist is more of a mind-set than anything else. I also think that you have to know there is a certain difference to actively be an elitist.

The whole "out of touch" thing is more prevalent with someone who is just plain ignorant, but not necessarily an elitist.

Hillary is an elitist. She's been around long enough to see or at least hear about the plebes and what it's like. Not that she's experienced it for a while, but it gives her a slight connection. She may be "in touch" - not certain about her. Omaba is also an elitist for similar reasons. Certainly more "in touch",

Someone like Edwards is just plain out of touch - born rich, live rich and can't fathom the concept of not having a trust fund.

"We made 4+ Million dollars last year, but we are not proud of our country, and if we go to the gas station we might get shot because were black"

signed,

Michelle Obama

I guess that's why Edwards whole campaign was about helping the poor in this country, right?

By far he had the most progressive platform... after Kucinich and I guess Nader.

The thing about a country this big and diverse is that somebody will always be out of touch with somebody else. It's the price we pay.

It gets bad when it's used to pander for votes but worse when people start preaching about political correctness and how they are wronged by society.

The US has gotten soft. Er, I mean progressive... Spend one year in the upper middle class in a third world nation and you'll be begging to be at the poverty level in this country. We've lost all perspective on everything.

Liberalism = Decadence.

Yessiree, that trust fund his mill-worker father set him up with really put him on easy street.

Why don't all you morons suck my dick while I fuck over America. Then we'll go out and have a beer.

You're right! I should vote for McBush. Afterall, he only has 6 homes and his main home is the mansion that his wife grew up in. He sure is feeling the pinch of the common man.

Obamas Earned $4.2 Million in 2007

It's so tough keeping up with the Quincy Joneses.

WOW....a man does this all on his own and makes something of himself w/o Bin Laden family cash in part by writing books, not stealing land to build a baseball stadium, and you righties are all moist and lathered about it.

lol cs

Only when he's a Harvard liberal elitist and tries to pass himself off as one of the masses, when he has a wife that is just finally proud of this country and a guru that screams "Goddamn America!"

And let's not forget his vision of small-town America, where everyone is a clingy religious fanatic xenophobe with a hair trigger, and hates everyone that isn't named Cleetus.

"Only when he's a Harvard liberal elitist and tries to pass himself off as one of the masses"

As opposed to a Yale frat boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth and pretends to be a cowboy.

Uniter my ass.

Yeah, that whole "I'm a uniter not a divider" that Bush campaigned on was sure exposed as a crock of shit over the last 7 years.

Like everyone else.

"Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, made $4.2 million last year"
===========
Big deal, Clintons made more and I believe McCain made a good buck as well. It's all honest gain mostly from two books he wrote and speaking engagements. A bigger problem is that Bill Clinton make $800,000 in speaking fees pushing that Columbian trade deal in S America.
The reality is that you can't become president unless you have some money and I don't expect the president to take a vow of poverty.

The reality is if you go to Harvard or Yale you are the elite. Period.
What I find fascinating is the class envy expressed by so many right of center folks here. Aren't you supposed to get all wet when people make millions of dollars? Isn't that what Rush tells you?

Harvard and Yale blow.
MIT might be worthwhile.

At MIT they think enough of themselves to change the rules as it suits them.

I want my president to be 'somewhat' elite.

Do you want a president who could only manage
to graduate high school and punch a clock?

I want a president who is (as I perceive)
smarter, more successful, better educated,
more talanted, morally superior, etc.,...
than the average person.

I want someone 'above average' in every respect.

"BAH! Chump change!"
- Bubba Clinton

Don't punish a man who has a litterary talent as 90% of this income came from the selling of his books. Goodd to have a great talent. GO OBAMA 08 !!!

Bubba earns his dough from "speakers fees" which is another way of saying "legal bribe" from various global corporate interests all of whom have invested heavily in Chilly Hilly's "inevitability" thinking that their agendas will once again become front and center in a new ClintCo regime.

McLame dumped his long suffering first wife in order to make his money like Anna Nicole Smith by marrying into a wealthy family.

Obama wrote a couple of serious, thought provoking, hopeful, and inspiring books which sold well.

Hmmmmm... which one of them are you gonna pick?

G08ama '08!

Once in a generation (if yer lucky) a candidate like BHO comes along.

DO NOT fuck this up, America.

Be Well.

McCain is a fucking whore. Dumps his first wife so he can marry into money. Daddy-in-law sets him up in politics to make him a useful asset rather than just be a loud mouth freeloader who calls his daughter a cunt whenever he doesn't get his way.

Come on Righto fucktards you ripped into Kerry for marrying into the Heinz fortune why aren't you going after McCunt for being far more blatant and sleazy?

lol Bill and company made more.. there all in bed with the "Evil Rich" . how can anyone that makes that kind of money know wtf it is to live pay check to pay check. personally , none of them are in touch. and you can take this to the bank, anyone thats liberal will tax the crap out of the wealthy, and guess what, we will get crumbs, the rich will find a way to not pay and those in congress will keep getting richer, and growing government and the dependence upon it that they want, government control is not the answer in 99% of the cases, and 99% of the bul$$ you hear from government and these idiots wanting to be president is fluff, if you take money away from companies that make jobs, well.. if your just to dumb to figure it out then we know how your going to vote anyway, and if you want big brother to always step in and fix it, your even more stupid than the others.

too bad the fair tax wont make it, those who dont like it dont understand it and frankly just have not read it, they take a blurb from some politician or liberal news paper to tell them what it means.

its not the governments job, to tell me whats "Fair", and sharing my wealth with others, well, thats my decision to make, not yours, get a job, work hard, stop crying, make good choices, be accountable for YOUR own actions and maybe you will one day... have something, but its not going to be mine.
