For liberals, history began on the day Donald Trump took office. If you’re not a liberal you might remember things that happened before that. For instance, you might remember that Joe “The Plumber” Wurzlebacher asked then candidate Barack Obama about his plans to tax small businesses. Obama’s reply?
I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.
Here’s the video
You might also remember that in return some sleazy democrat improperly searched for and made public Wurzelbacher’s financial records.
Thus in 2008 Obama believed in spreading the wealth because it was good for everybody. More than a few of us thought he was full of sh*t and all we had to do was wait long enough to prove it.
And that day is here.
In March of 2017 the Obama’s landed a $65 million book deal. Also that year they dropped $8 million on a house in Chicago.
Then in 2018 with the help of a major donation bundler buddy the Obama’s inked a deal to produce Netflix shows. Amount is unknown.
Just the other day the Obama’s bought a $15 million estate in the Hamptons.
Barack and Michelle Obama are close to buying a massive Martha’s Vineyard estate.
TMZ reports that the former president and first lady are in escrow — aka in contract to purchase — a 29-acre beachfront plot with a 6,892-square-foot main house. The Obamas were initially just renting the seven-bedroom, 8½-bathroom spread for summer 2019, but apparently loved it so much that they made an offer.
It was most recently on the market asking $14.85 million, but the Obamas are apparently paying less.
The property at 79 Turkeyland Cove Road in Edgartown, Mass. — owned by Boston Celtics chief Wyc Grousbeck — has a living room with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and a formal dining room with giant windows, according to the property’s Realtor.com listing.
The Obamas will bunk in the master suite, which has a fireplace and private sun deck.
Outside, there’s a pool with another fireplace — or the couple could swim on the private beach, which has a boathouse.
You might also remember that in 2010 Obama said something else
“I Do Think At A Certain Point You’ve Made Enough Money”
Their current net worth is estimated to be as much as $135 million.
Where is that “certain point”? And what have they “spread around”?
Pure bullsh*t. Nothing more.
Donald Trump has donated every penny of his Presidential salary. His net worth has been diminished since taking office.
Bernie Sanders owns three homes and is a multi-millionaire preaching socialism.
Liberals are utterly and completely full of sh*t. Whatever they say, whatever they plan- it will apply to YOU and not to them.
Just like in Russia. No one should ever believe a liberal.
Ever
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
History shows us why liberals, commies, socialists, progressives, or whatever you want to call them, all turn into KLEPTOCRATS once they attain power.
Looting a nation’s wealth is their hobby while they berate you for more, more, more!
Look at history.
Imelda Marcos, of the Philippeans Nationalist Party was a kleptocrat while her country sought to nationalize businesses.
Yasser Arafat of Fatah in Gaza/West Bank was a kleptocrat who looted over $900 million in public funds to a special bank account controlled by himself. dying with a bank account of over $1.3 billion while his people suffered.
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe sifted UN and US aid to himself and his armed gangs of thugs who raped and pillaged his country’s law abiding people. He refused to leave office without a bribe of millions of US dollars as well as immunity from prosecution!
Fidel Castro, of Cuba, was worth hundreds of millions and owned 20 properties, including a chalet and a private marina in the Bay of Pigs. He imprisoned people just for having his matching blood type! He imprisoned almost all his ex-bodyguards, too.
Muammar Gaddafi of Libya died worth over $200BILLION after nationalizing most of Libya’s private businesses and ruling the country for years.
My point is these American socialists, Obama and Sanders are just getting started.
Had Hillary been elected the pace would have been quicker.
They are presently stuck in the patsy stage (a fool and his money……)
They hope and (maybe even pray) for a time when they will be back in charge enough to really loot this country by nationalizing its means of wealth production.
Obama claimed it was easier to buy a gun then to buy books or a loaf of bread well i have bought books and loaves of bread and never have register my name more proof Obama was and still is a liar
Ah the days of Joe the fake Plumber and the half-witted/half term ding-bat Governor from Alaska.
But back to your misguided argument Dr. John, it would seem you could do better than such elementary editing and falsifying context. Let’s review Obama’s statement and include that “but” word you omitted.
I guess as a Trump supporter, you have no shame?
The $15mm beachfront property is Obama’s admission that the rising sea level story is total BS.
Thanks Barry!
@Ronald J. Ward:
You’ll feel better after you have a good cry. We are playing by your rules now, how do you like it? Obama also said something about all those wasteful mansions.
Funny how his statements never apply to him. He’s a hell of a capitalist when it comes to himself, I’ll give him that. If only he had felt that way about the rest of us.
@Meremortal:
Seem like I’ve heard that before from my regular stalker.
Is this something you guys brainstormed at your latest FA playbook update meeting?
But, I also said something about him not being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
@Ronald J. Ward: OK, you won’t feel better.
And by the way, your reality check bounced.
his was a piece of shit before the presidency, during the presidency and after the presidency. slut hillary’s book at Costco is now $.99. has joe biden had an MRI yet to check for Alzheimer dx. or severe frontal lobe and advance cortical atrophy? ever wonder who killed the radicalized muslin terrorist’s two lovers in Chi., six months before he ran for the senate? there was a photo on the internet for about 10 min of the terrorism getting dry humped in a Chi . gay bar.
You don’t make Obama look stupid and not suffer the consequences.
A more appropriate address could not be found.
I’m sure only non-fossil fueled sailboats will be allowed in their boat house.
$136 million. For now.
@Ronald J. Ward: What is Barrack and Michelle’s “product” and when do you think they will start giving back instead of taking, taking, taking, taking, taking… like every other liberal?
No, you just present yourself as a whiny, crybaby that lies and then runs away.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Careful little dog. I remember encouraging you to have an actual argument beyond “you guys are stupid-heads!”
Better for someone be a “knife”, all be them dull, than to be a limp prick with impotent ideas and whiny non-arguments like you.
You’ve go nothing on this.
Trump: spent a billion or so of his own money to become president.
Obama: got rich by being installed as president.
Obama is a hypocrite.
Trump is not. Good thing he’s the president now. We’ve been saved from Obama’s incompetence.
As for your own “impotence”. You might want to see a therapist. It’s psychological…given your impression this blog a soft target for you to vent on…or get paid to vent on.
@Ronald J. Ward:
I am glad you put that quote in its context.
He didn’t say he approved of “the American way,” though, did he?
Obama might also have mentioned that at some point you’ve eaten enough Big Macs…
It’s better for the nation for 1,000 aspiring people to become millionaires than for one person to become a billionaire.
The 3 richest individuals in the United States own as much wealth the bottom half of the nation’s entire population combined. The top 1 percent owns as much wealth as the bottom 40 percent.
Yet who gets the biggest tax cuts? Who do the permanent cuts most benefit? And how is this justified, when the cuts are at the cost of even higher deficits and even more rapidly growing debt?
@Greg: But what about Obama leaving the White House a wealthy, wealthy man, ignoring his own bullshit about climate change, unnecessary extravagance, hoarding wealth while citizens suffered due to his blundering economic policies?
Obviously he needs to be thoroughly investigated because he used his office to rape the nation of millions of dollars. He is, as evidenced by his wealth, a criminal scumbag.
@Meremortal: What is the difference between Barry, Barney, FauxHauntus, and the rest vs the Politburo of the ChiComs? Hint…not a damn thing.
@Greg:
Not you, or anyone, gets to decide that in a free market capitalistic republic unto which you live. Your comment is absolutely horrific. “It’s better for a nation…” says who? You? I don’t want to live in a place where one or a group of people decide what’s best for me. I’ll take actually democracy, please.
The only fair tax is a flat tax. The bottom 40 pays no tax. You want to penalize the rich for…what, exactly? Petty greed? Jealously?
To reiterate, anything less than a flat tax is a joke.
@Deplorable Me, #13:
It’s no mystery where their money came from, as their tax returns were available for examination year after year. Forbes provided a breakdown in 2017: How Barack Obama Has Made $20 Million Since Arriving In Washington
They made a record-breaking book deal with Random House that some year. It’s apparently working out well for all concerned. Michelle Obama’s most recent book has sold 10 million copies since it came out last November. Barack Obama has a new book near completion that will be released next year. It will likely sell well also. The man has a positive message and a lot of admirers.
I guess they can afford a house in Martha’s Vineyard. I don’t see having an ocean view as an acknowledgment that climate change is a hoax. I haven’t taken a personal vow of poverty just because I think billionaires should be paying higher taxes.
@Greg: We haven’t seen his income tax returns. His income tax returns need to be published for everyone in America to see. Otherwise, it must be assumed he stole the money. What happened is publishing companies laundered drug money for Mexican cartels by paying Obama drug money for which Obama left the border open, unprotected and a clear avenue for drug trade. THAT’S where his money came from and without his published IRS RETURNS, complete with his Social Security number, we simply have to convict him as guilty.
Seems fair. Right?
Funny, the only redistribution of THEIR wealth is the percentage the real estate broker gets.
@Nathan Blue: Well, as liberal icon DeBlasio says, there is plenty of money, it’s just in the wrong hands.
@Deplorable Me, #17:
If you haven’t seen Obama’s tax returns you haven’t looked very hard. They were provided for 16 years, including all of the years that he served as president. You can still find them here, by clicking through to RESULTS 21 – 30 OF 43. You’ll also find Joe Biden, who has released his returns for a total of 21 years.
You don’t seem concerned that only 2 pages pertaining to a single year—2005—have ever been revealed for Donald Trump, and that was only because they somehow slipped out without his permission.
Somebody may have been on drugs, to have come up with such a bizarre tale. Or maybe they were off their prescribed medications. It’s hard to tell.
@Greg: No, those are summaries. We MUST see the entire, unredacted RETURNS and if he won’t release those of his Presidency and every year since, then he is a lying, thieving criminal that is hiding his crimes.
Trump is a very public person. Obama had all his past locked away except for what he picked to be revealed. Further, no media demanded he open his past, including his birth certificate, which Hillary raised questions about and Obama kept mysteriously hidden.
So, Obama is obviously using laundered drug money to purchase this property because he is not proving otherwise. He also obviously needs this huge, secluded estate to carry on his deviant sexual abuses he has never denied.
Anyone who bothers to check will discover that the Obama returns at the link in post #18 are the full returns—their Form 1040 for each year, plus the supporting schedule forms. They’re all present to be inspected.
@Greg: But Nadler has not examined them to assure us, the American people, that the IRS did their job and did not cover up the drug money he accepted AND they are not his latest returns.
Until he can prove he isn’t a crook, he is taking drug money and abusing young boys at his homes.
@Joseph Self:
Nor did you.
@Greg:
Too bad his records are all sealed: locked up the Dem handlers, cleaners, and scrubbers well before anyone in America knew who Obama was.
Anyone calling for Trump to release his tax returns would, in the spirit of the justice they decree, be much more concerned about Obama’s sealed records…or so logic and reason would say.
Once again, I’m not sure how you and your party can require others to do things that you yourselves will not. Obama’s records sealing was very intentional. Trump’s decades of building businesses, billions in both revenue and profit, yield a rather convoluted and long record that Dems would twist merely for political gain.
Obama’s tax returns are irrelevant. He was a career academic with no record of leadership, risk-taking, or ownership. He was scrubbed clean, and now a legion of other people continue to build the “brand Obama” by pretending to be transparent, after the fact.
@Ronald J. Ward: How’s the campaign going, little dog? Any closer to getting FA shut down? Do you feel like you “got those guys” yet?
I hope the pay is good: can’t imagine anyone parroting the same old tired media talking points at a small conservative blog unless they were an abject failure in life and so lost that they argue non-points with people just wanting to share their opinion.
You’re like the written-version of Antifa: getting more violent and blaming it on the violence you incite in others.
@Nathan Blue, #23:
As if you’ve ever seen any of Donnie Boy’s personal records… Let’s make the comparison fair: Donnie Boy can match Obama by releasing all of the same tax year returns. He can continue to keep everything else locked and sealed—including the medical records he had spirited away from Dr. Demento’s office during a surprise raid.
They’re irrelevant because Obama is hiding no financial improprieties or serious conflicts of interest between the operations of his family’s international money machine and the best interests of the people of the United States of America.
How do you know they aren’t playing the stock market every time Trump says something that sends it into a dive, and then reverses what he said a few days later? How do you know they weren’t bailed out on multiple occasions by Russian money laundered through Deutsche Bank, and can now be manipulated by being threatened with exposure? There are more suggestions of serious irregularities with this guy than you can shake a stick at, and they don’t all relate to a Big Mac and Fries diet.
What worries you so much about Obama’s past? That his GPA might not be as high as reported?
@Greg:
We don’t know that because he only releases his sanitized records. Obviously he is hiding his criminal activities. He is guilty until he proves himself innocent.
Reuters, May 19, 2019 – UPDATE 1-Bank staff flagged Trump, Kushner transactions for watchdog
Are there any such reports regarding Obama?
They also flagged transactions by somebody else:
Jul 24, 2019 – Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Moved Millions Of His Wealth Through Deutsche Bank
@Greg: Obama had the attention redirected away from HIS money laundering. Notice he hasn’t denied it. That means he is GUILTY.
I agree 100%. Great post!!
@Greg: T
Because he was a political no-name with no history or accomplishments, no business experience and no leadership experience. We know.
@Greg:
What worries you about holding Trump to the same standard you held Obama? That he’s the successful business magnate we know he is without any smoking guns for you to use for pathetic political rhetoric?
You’re grasping at straws, and finding nothing.
“How do you know they aren’t playing the stock market every time Trump says something that sends it into a dive, and then reverses what he said a few days later? How do you know they weren’t bailed out on multiple occasions by Russian money laundered through Deutsche Bank, and can now be manipulated by being threatened with exposure?

How do I know you’re not Vladimir Putin?
Might want to get with the times, junior. You parroting what you handlers tell you to parrot doesn’t make it true…or rational.
