Obama 2010: “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”

[Ray From Cleveland]

$44,000 a month for office space?

Better question: what does a guy with no job need an office for in the first place?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Current net worth: $40M.
Barack Obama's base salary is $207,800 per year. He is granted a host of benefits that add up to more than the pension payment itself. He is allowed office space and communications systems paid for by taxpayers. Fiscal year 2018 budget requests for Obama include $536,000 for office space for former President Barack Obama.

So when will Obama have earned enough?

Liberals made this same complaint against Gerry Ford

edit: but they never accused him of being a Muslim.

He never gave them a reason to.

Maybe he's depressed that nobody pays attention to him anymore, goes into his office to avoid feeling like a loser.

I thought he was supposed to make millions giving speeches?

how expensive is an 'office' that it needs another $300k to operate it?

The Great Obama has many demands on his time

$300 k is a pittance

Glad to see the Great Obama is doing well

Obama is a typical wealthy Liberal elitist which is why I did not vote for him nor Kerry nor Hillary. How dare a politician push policy that limits or caps others on their income generating opportunities and, at the same time, do not hold themselves to the same standards? That is a socialist mindset replete with redistribution of wealth mentality.... very Anti-American.

yeah, it's not like we are $20 trillion in debt and even if we were, what's $300k + more a year for The Ones one office?

Just like in the old Soviet Union, America's Communist Political Elites live very well. Only average Citizens suffer under Communism.

Thats because it was really state capitalism.
It was communism in name only.

No actual example of communism is ever accepted by the delusional left as communism.

The term "state capitalism" is an oxymoron. Under capitalism, the state doesn't get involved in the economy. When it does, we call that socialism/communism.

Here is the full context of Obama's quote, which has nothing to do with personal income:

We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.

Most famous people are not important, and most important people are not famous.

Okay......but when he did have a job where he needed an office and desk, all he did was put his feet up on it and nothing good came from him.

What service or product is Obama selling and how many people are buying it?

Yep obozo is the luckiest man in the world. Him getting his fortune is akin to someone winning the lottery.

I would say it's akin to Bernie Madoff being elected president as opposed to serving a decade in prison.

Kinda like hitlery was trying to do.

We know what he was selling. We know how many people bought it; he was elected twice.

Where did the Great Obama ever cap income?

I agree to the extent that madoff and obozo are both con men with zero integrity, but madoff doesn’t believe his own bullshit like Hussein and he was smart enough to amass his fortune by using his brain. Barry’s handlers got him to where he is. Obozo has literally no talents.

what is 'state capitalism'?

State capitalism is where you have commercial production owned by government. Its characterized by centralized management, who exclusively decides what to do with surplus.

Today you no longer need to ask "what is X", because you have google and wikipedia

you just described communism.

I'm well aware that I can search for anything, however, this is a conversation, asking questions is part of that.
