He will try for some post with the UN if he does not get reelected.

If the Obama's bought a House in Hawaii right now that doesn't mean they expect to lose the election. It could take several years to get whatever they buy up to the security standards and personal tastes needed for a x-president. The Romney's have been working on remodeling their Pacific Ocean house for a couple of years. What makes you think the Obama's wouldn't have to do the same?

Do you actually think about what you write before you commit to it?
How dishonest of you to edit my reply to exclude the part about how long the Romney's have been working on their Pacific Ocean house remodel. Aside from that, getting a stadium ready for a convention is an apples to oranges comparison. I won't bother to explain because deep down you probably already know that.

his net work on his income tax in 2008 was 7 million dollars.
What is Obama's net worth in 2008

...an understatement...by 2007, Romney and his wife had a net worth of between $190 and $250 million.

Why do you pretend to not know how Romney made his money. Much of it was not by very admirable means.

Really, why do you pretend? Or is that it the integrity of a person has no value as long as they can sum up their net worth in the form of offshore bank accounts???

Because he wasn't raping the taxpayers to get it. Romney earned his money the old-fashioned way.

There are people NORMAL WORKING PEOPLE who spend years remodeling their homes before they move into them. Why would you think that's stange for someone with the income the Obamas have & the requirements they'll need?

Why would compare that to a staduim event?

Do you actually think?

Obama probably has one book left in him, which won't be a best seller, unless the title is: "The Art of Deception - How I Ran the White House" or "The Art of Political BS and how I Perfected it".

I don't think he would do well on the speaker circuit.

Highly unlikely he would get a top position in a law firm seeing as how he never had a job or practiced law unless the firm was desperate for the name of a figurehead on their letterhead.

Maybe he should think about moving to a socialist country?
