Obama Thinks Former Presidents Need More Money

[euphemia]

Obama wants more money, now that he's leaving office. I'm glad he cares about the poor.

That's kind of pricey considering the wealth these people already have.

Does anyone here think for a second that Michelle Obama isn't high maintenance?

[euphemia]

Of course she is, but she's worth a lot in her own right. Just go away and stop fleecing the taxpayers.

It's not like they have little kids and Michelle has to stay home. They have live-in help, in the form of her mom.

And she's not high maintenance, too...?

[euphemia]

That's what I'm saying. All our former presidents and their wives are wealthy. Maybe the only thing they get is a small pension and Secret Service protection. They should never take more in retirement than they made in office.

Interesting timing...

Would you expect anything different from the crooks and thieves who run the country?

Being a constitutional scholar and all, he's all about the service, man, all about the service.

He would not need more money if he was not debasing the currency for the last 8 years. Karma is a bitch.

Not a fan of DGP but how else is he expected to maintain support of his family values after leaving the puppetship?

So... what exactly does black people see in Obama? lol. How has Obama uplifted them from poverty and misery? It is stupid that people think the president gives a donkeys poo about them.

HILLARY SAVE US. TRUMP MAKE ME FEEL GREAT AGAIN. BERNIE GIVE ME FREE SHIT.

[Ronin Truth]

Feel free to give them all some of yours, Barry.

[phill4paul]

I'm sure a crony capitalist he helped will give him 50-100k for an hour long speech at a company dinner. No worries Barry, the cash will flow for individuals such as yourself.

[Ronin Truth]

They're 'entitled'. Just ask them. :p

That's the, uh, usual way, um, that former, uh, presidents have always, um, made a living. But, uh, can you, um, imagine, uh, sitting through, um, one of those, uh, occasions with, um, Obama, uh, as the, um, guest of, uh, honor?

Nothing like, um, being the, uh, guy who approved, um, half a million, uh, dollars for, um the guy who, uh, caused all the, um, guests' brains to, uh, melt.

[acptulsa]

Duplicate, um, post.
