Ugh.
Nothing suspicious here... Barack Obama Net Worth: $40 Million
Worthless as a student, worthless as a lawyer, worthless as a president but pretty dang good at raking in money!

I would prefer to praise him as intelligent, classy, hard-working, curious, compassionate, articulate, contemplative - all those adjectives that are lacking in the Oval Office at present.





Oh, pray tell us who lives up to your exalted standards? I don't understand why so many people don't understand the difference between a plan and a promise, and don't understand that candidates campaigning don't know what the reality will be after the election.
hard working pftt. curious, LOL, he learned everything the same time we did, by reading the news.

While both are now celebrities, only when the media crooned and got tingles up their leg did Obama become a celebrity.

The Bushes were classy too. We had a sixteen year run of dignity in the White House before this abomination that is in there now came along.

Other examples of the media distortion of the truth to change your perception below. If you don't realize the media does this then you are very naive.

The media gives the wrong message to young people, such as a frenzy over materialism, saying that they must have the right car, the right clothes, latest gadgets and so on. They spend all their money on those instead of saving for the future.

And worse, the media caters to those who make money off of products that promote the idea of women as sex objects, with things like skin-tight clothing, tons of make-up, messages that focus only on a girl’s body and not her mind, telling them that looking like a Kardashian is the ultimate goal, not getting a good education and a career. It also tells guys that they should only date girls who look like this, rather than creating meaningful relationships.

Not even remotely true. But, hey--unlike Trump, at least Obama could read.

Yes we all know Obama can read, his speeches were all teleprompter, reading what someone else wrote.

Still waiting for those shovel-ready jobs.
Hopefully, one of those shovel-ready jobs will be burying the Trump presidency!
