become president? That's news? Everyone knows that this is really a nation of the wealthy by the wealthy for the wealthy, so that the wealthy do not perish from the earth. Amen!

So Obama is just another member of the elite ruling class. you did not need to look at his tax form to know that. So what's your point?

What you are saying makes little sense. It only stands to reason that a person who is educated, dedicated and accomplished enough to meet the challenges of being President, would also be capable of making a few bucks along the way.

Stop your whinning, get off your dead ass, and get to work, and maybe you could make a few bucks yourself. Of course, it is a lot easier to feel sorry for yourself and live in yor Mom's basement.

Slacker!

Never been bruised by life, have you? Your parents had money and rectally inserted you into a good college, didn't they? So forth and so on.

People who've had it easy all their lives are always the first ones to tell others to buckle down. It's a disease.

Actually, I'm in agreement with TJ here, and I've served in the military and am putting myself through college and (soon) grad school. I'd hope the person who's wanting to run the country is smart enough to make a couple of bucks on the way there. I'm just impressed he did it honestly and legally.

how did making money get such a bad rap?

As long as it is done ethically, why should someone not do well if they are able?

I'm just asking as a middle-class dood.

nation . . . oh to hell with it. Anyone asking such a question is an idiot to begin with.

Hey dood,

Tree House Foods... ever heard of it?

Obama has had his own anti-wealthy rants, and his criticism of Wal Mart does not seem to fit that talking vs walking test.
