I bet he's teaching his girls that $100 + 3% = $103, and ignoring inflation, taxes owed on the profit, + the devaluing dollar = less money.
btw, OP 3% isnt outrageous.. I receive an average of 8-10% return government guaranteed, but thats another topic. And please leave the fact that he's black out of the topic.. He's incompetent, but that has nothing to do with his race..
I would LOVE to see a link for that kind of interest.
Could it be that he's talking about his childhood? Nah, the OP obviously only recognized him as a fully grown man who somehow just popped out of no where into the Presidency w/out any other experiences or history.
And being black, half black or half white...has nothing to do with anything...other than your prejudices.
Your life is what you make of it. If you have a crap job, you can sometimes educate yourself and move into better jobs.
From your posts, looks like you want to blame others for the pickle you've turned your life into.
Sour grapes doesn't make good wine.
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.
Obama grew up living with his grandparents majority of his childhood. His mother got a masters phd. She was not poor either
Yeah hes been busted for lying in those biographies
Wow. So far those definding Barack have pointed out that his family collected food stamps, he went to college on a sholarship. There was also talk that his mom was being looked at for welfare fraud.
Shining example of using the system to his advantage I guess.
All it proves is how quickly he has lost touch with the citizens of the U.S. inspite of coming from very humble beginnings.
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.
For a while does not make someone growing up poor. His step father worked for the country his mother had a masters phd. Then he went to his grandparents.
lets not sit here and pretend that Obamas entire childhood was spent struggling and wondering where his next meal was coming from.
I can promise you he can relate to the working class a lot better than George Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh-bya could. That idiot never had to work for anything in his entire life. He was pampered and spoiled by his mommy and daddy. The economic recession is not Obama's fault. He inherited this mess, so don't be disgruntled because he couldn't fix the economy overnight. I didn't see Numbnuts attempt to do anything about the housing crisis the entire eight years he was in office.
That's because you are grossly uninformed. Both "W" and McCain led efforts to reform the GSEs. "W" sent TS Snow to capital Hill in 2003 to lobby for a new GSE regulator to replace ineffective OFHEO and warned of problems with Fannie and Freddie from 2001 on. McCain co-sponsored S.190 with several other Republican Senators but it was met with a threatened Democrat filibuster.
Oh, I see. Yet nobody complained over the fact that GW Bush took the equivalent of two years of vacation during the entire eight years he was elected president.

Yes, Obama went to school on a scholarship because he could not afford to pay while his mama was working on her PHD. I wonder if the tax payers payed for that as well?
Great at working the system.
I don't think barack can even keep his own bio/history straight. He is so coy and elusive when asked questions regading his past. Is he afraid of getting caught telling stories?
