 Obama Releases TaxesPosted on Mar 25, 2008
Barack Obama posted his tax returns for the last seven years on his Web site Tuesday. It’s a direct challenge to his opponent, who has indicated that she will release hers about three days before the Pennsylvania primary in late April. If you’re at all curious how much Obama is worth or you’re just a tax document junkie, follow this link.

Obviously Obama didn’t have the broker Hillary did when she made over $100,000 on her $1,000 cattle future investment…....It stinks.

I’m far more interested in what they will do and are doing with “our” tax dollars. That somehow never seems to be fully disclosed.
This story is just more irrelevant page filler while taxation without representation should be the people’s main focus.
Our first revolution obviously wasn’t enough to keep it from happening to us again.

The only notable item here (and it is only notable because there seems to be “purpose” behind it) is that, until he began his presidential run, the Obama’s donated less than 1% of their income to charity - even though they had already made a couple of million or more on their books - and only raised that percentage AFTER he declared as a presidential candidate.
This would seem to make them extremely stingy prior to his run, and opportunistic once he declared.
Peace.

Obama refused to disavow a man whose hatred for America is so intense that he mocked the 9/11 MURDERS and said that America got what it deserved. Obama refused to disavow a man who hates America so much that he fabricated a bizarre fairy tale about our country inventing the AIDS virus to kill African Americans. Obama refused to disavow a man who screamed, “God d*mn America”!!
Report thisBut there is icing on this cake: to defend the hater Wright, Obama consciously destroyed the reputation of the woman who raised, loved and educated him from the age of ten years on. This is an elderly widow, alone in the world and with no means to defend herself from what well may be a false accusation—a stab in the back from a treacherous and ungrateful grandson. He threw her under the bus while embracing a racist, anti-American nutcase.. That’s an unforgivable sin. Has there ever been anything lower or more vile in American politics? NO decent person could vote this guy.

Obama and Hillary both pretend to know what it is like to be an average hard working American. Well I got news for them, they ore so out of touch with reality! It takes me a lot of overtime for me to make 74K. It pays the bills and thats it. If they really wanted Americans to be able to save and not struggle then how about 6K in tax relief. That would still leave 3K to the Gov out of my salary. I don’t understand why people can’t see that the tax burden is what’s hurting HARD WORKING AMERICANS.

How dare the Obama campaign demand her tax returns! Ms. President Clinton has until April 17 to file her return. Hillary 2008!

I’m not curious to know what Obama ‘is worth’ as determined by his tax records.
Odd that Hillary has a specific time already designated for when she will allegedly release hers.
I won’t be interested in that either.

After listening to the Obamas, their past and present pastor, and their congregation’s anti-American screaming and gyrating about the lack of opportunities in America ... the Obamas sure did benefit financially from our American system. They made MUCH more than the majority of Americans make ... white, or black. And, especially considering the fact that we paid Obama for voting ‘present’ during most of his time in the senate ... and, since he didn’t vote once on the Afganistan committe he chaired.
