He's teaching his young girls how to save and do math. You seem to have a problem with that.

BTW, I have several accounts, the rates vary from 1.215% to 2.330% for different savings accounts.
I have two interest bearing checking accounts, too.

Got anything but hatred for the man?

I think you have him confused with Bush. Hahahahaha.

Your life is what you make of it. If you have a crap job, you can sometimes educate yourself and move into better jobs.

BTW, he did grow up poor, his mother required food stamps.

You might want to read his biographies if your interested; or you can continue to listen to Rush and Beck.

This is about Obama

I didn't see Numbnuts attempt to do anything about the housing crisis the entire eight years he was in office.
Obama inherited nothing.

He campaigned for the job.

Barack is completely out of touch with what his constituents want.
He thinks, with his superior intelligence he knows what's best for us.
The man is delusional.
Hopefully a reality check is coming, and soon. Can you say mid-term election.

He attended on scholarship.
But there you go again, just flaming about from what you hear on the radio, not actually finding out the truth for truth's sake.
Another example of how we've trained or allowed ourselves to be trained for service industry work.

President Obama's family was not living in the lap of luxury (his mother was on food stamps for a while). So perhaps he was referring to his previous life? After all, not all of us forget where we come from.

Don't you know the far-lefties will never stop blaming President Bush for their mistakes and foibles!
Barack is home free because he can always look over his shoulder and point to Bush-but it's HIS fault!!!
