Barrack & Michelle Obama's new Wealth Building adventures

Awww.. look at how adorable they are. Sweet, lovely, respectable Obama's. The ones who care so deeply about the downtrodden and wail about the income gap between the rich and the poor. The Robinhoods of the 21st century..

...Well, I guess if you're gullible to that kind of propaganda. If you actually believe the narrative then chances are you watch msm.

Crowdsource the Truth is a great youtube channel to follow if you're interested in keeping up with the latest independent and more realistic news regarding American politics. You can't trust what msm has to say any more. As a matter of fact you can prove the hypothesis just by watching Crowdsource!...lol. What you see first here, you'll notice is usually completely downplayed (if it involves Democrats in a scandal) or absent altogether from msm. That is until they're just about forced to report on it as in the case of Trump Tower being wiretapped by the Obama administration. If you got that news from msm then you thought Trump was delusional or decieving the people with outragious 'no evidence' false allegations of wiretapping. Yet weeks later the same media does a 180? You'll notice that with every msm story.

Anyway, did you know that Obama has designed his 'presidential library' scam...I mean foundation..using the Clinton Foundation template? Did you see where Michelle is recieving 65M for a book deal? How about the $400,000 speaking fees Obama's raking in? Seem a bit like the Clintons part 2? I thought so too...lol

Sort:  

I think the Democrats maybe voted out of office come next election cycle but we'll see. Depends on how many people are still willing to give away their vote after all these failed campaign promises.

I honestly think Dems are going to continue to lose seats. That is 'if' Trump stays Trump and doesn't get eaten by the swamp.

On top of all that, he gets a pension that's over $200,000 per year. Plus each former President receives money every year to pay for expenses such as offices. Obama's proposed 2017 budget is $3.9 million, which is payed by the taxpayers. This money is to pay for office space, staff and expenses.

Seriously.

While Americans pay for their own expenses, we also get to pay the expenses for former Presidents too.

George W. Bush received $1.098 million in 2015 from taxpayers to cover his office space and staff and other expenses.

The Former Presidents Act authorizes the government to pay former presidents a lifetime pension, plus other benefits like travel, staff, office space, and mailing privileges so they can have enough money to live like a rock star.

I don't have a problem with a pension. A 'reasonable' pension. I imagine being president takes alot out of you. But office space? In the millions? Given that these ex-presidents make mulitudes of millions on their own from book deals, speaking fees etc why in the world are they owed anything else by taxpayers? They should have to do what like welfare recipients have to do. Or social security retirements require. Your payout by the government decreases in proportion to your personal income increase ya know? With a 65M book deal the Obama's should get zero pension!

I agree with the pension too but the office space and travel expenses are ridiculous.
