Questions about Obama, his funding and how is he a millionare now?

[rickt300]

So lets see here, Obama was possibly born in Hawaii, lived in Indonesia through high school, came to America and got into Columbia University, (where did that money come from?), somehow got on the Harvard Law review (very interesting) became a communist organizer (this makes sense), Then got into the Senate with no long history in politics (most left leaning voter while in that office) and of course became president because he was Black even though that does not make him special (his mother was White). It is obvious that he made his money on insider trading in the senate or George Soros and Mayor Bloomberg gave it too him. The bankrolling of his time at Columbia University is the most suspicious to me as the rest is also obvious.

How can you accuse Obama of being a black man and his mother of being a white woman, all in the same sentence?  What are you trying to say?  That Obama is merely impersonating a black man?  That his mother is not his biological mother?  These statements make no sense.  Would you kindly set aside the chicanery, and explain yourself.

[rickt300]

Gee you missed the point! How do you percieve Barak Obama, as a Black man or a White man? This made a huge difference to many Blacks. The rest of the questions/ statements are generally pointing to Obama's vague history and how he became so rich. I should not have mentioned race because it is the only thing some home in on.

[magooch]

Maybe it would be more correct if you refer to Obama as a Halfrican.

Naturally, with regard to the information presented any and all facts are optional for the "birthers" 

[kennyd]

The senate salary and lecturing, book deals don't explain how he got into the schools, lived overseas, or some of the other things that take money.  Someone or something put him onto the path to start with.

Is one million dollars a lot of money in your country?  Here in the USA, California correctional officers and elementary school teachers get more than that.  Even more if they can read/write/speak Spanish.

That's it I'm moving to CA to be a teacher at a prison! 
I think you may be a bit off Lizzie. I have a cousin at Pelican Bay that is an administrator. He makes well under 6 figures. His mother is a teacher and she has had her retirement time in for 4 years now, continuing to work because she can't afford retirement yet(also under 6 figure income). With the cost of living they are in line with the rest of the nation. Not terribly low paid, but not on the upper end of income either.
Rickt I never really cared enough to check, just assumed a scholarship put him through college?

Whats confusing me is, the vast difference's in the amounts he has in investments. I certainly don't have that much money to play around with, but, when I do get a statement it's alot closer than, ohh, somewhere between $257,000 and $835,000. Really, major company's can't narrow down a figure closer than this. gypsyman

Kinda like when Romney was asked about his worth...he said "somewhere between 200 and 250 million.....50 million is quite the spread

[gypsyman]

Your right garbhead. A man should know closer than that. AND, if it was me, I sure would like to know that an investment company, that was handling my money, had a better handle on what was going on with my money. Isn't that what their getting paid to do! Oh Gee whiz mister Joe Schmoe, we think you have $500,000, but, it could be $750,000. Nah, on second thought, it's only $50,000. Somebody forgot, and carried a zero. gypsyman

He did donate to a Native American charity, however..

Yup! And that's why they honored him with a native American name: "Walking Eagle"

Really?  Obama also self-identifies as being the biological child of a white woman.  If his (and his mother's) testimony of white ancestry is factual, he is a member of the white brotherhood, just like most of his critics.   Isn't that how the "one-drop" rule works in the USA?  Any and all blackness claimed by him - or assigned to him - is purely political.

Regardless of whatever else you say about your boy, he's still your boy:  American-born, American-raised, American-elected, by straight white folk, no less.  Resistance is futile.

[Bugflipper]

The one drop rule was a racially motivated way to classify people as not being white and restrict their rights. It didn't go the other way, to prove one is white. Rather to, promote white supremacy after emancipation and reconstruction. The term was one drop of black paint will ruin a gallon of white paint.

Nice place, Hawaii

lived in Indonesia through high school

so?

came to America and got into Columbia University

good for him

(where did that money come from?)

I don't know. I don't know where anyone here go their money in school

somehow got on the Harvard Law review (very interesting)

alright

became a communist organizer (this makes sense)

I thought he was a Muslim Manchurian Candidate

Then got into the Senate with no long history in politics (most left leaning voter while in that office)

I'm guessing he got there by winning an election, voted in by your fellow Americans, fellow citizens

and of course

of course

became president because he was Black

i thought be become Prez, because he got the most votes, and because the Repubs ran that cranky old guy

even though that does not make him special (his mother was White).

your opinion is noted

It is obvious that he made his money on insider trading in the senate or George Soros and Mayor Bloomberg gave it too him. The bankrolling of his time at Columbia University is the most suspicious to me as the rest is also obvious.

you seem very interested in this


was there a question in there somewhere?

Yes, I am familiar with the one drop rule.  Was it suspended to allow Barry to get elected in 2008, re-instituted for the 2010 census, and then suspended again for the 2012 election?  Or has one part black and one part white become the formula for success in US presidential politics?  It seems to be on a bit of a win-streak.

[gypsyman]

The reason Obama won in 2012, more govt. workers, more people on the govt. dole,(welfare,food stamps,govt. housing,etc). People voted for Santa Claus, not a president. This country is like a teeter totter. At one time, you had both sides somewhat equal, or more skinny kids on one side. Now, you have fat,obloviated,free loaders on on side, and the other side can't compete. It will come to an end, and I hope in the not to distant future. gypsyman

[rickt300]

About Obama's entry into Columbia. Generally (for White people anyway) you have to be an excellent student to get a scholarship, meaning good grades. By Obama's own admission he was a so so student. So someone would have had to "help" him into Columbia via some sort of leverage (bribe, whatever). None of this explains why Obama is worth 40 million dollars, those of you who think he worked for it need to look again.

This part of the post is outrageous! Prove it!

Osama has seen fit to reward Egypt with some very generous aid (our tax money).  Would it be that far outside the realm of possibilities for there to be a kickback?  After all, there is some kind of undeniable relationship between Morsi and Obwana.

I agree and to the Muslim brotherhood also.

[magooch]

Oh, silly me; of course Obwana would carefully list all under-the-table kickbacks on his tax returns.  Since technically he is the top law enforcement person in the land, he would never break the law now would he?

It was reversed, found to be unconstitutional in 1967.
