How Did BHO's Rise Come About ?

[MikeBjerum]

Has there ever been a disclosure or at least in depth discussion on where BHO got his wealth 

It is widely understood that he came from nothing, started with nothing, and at some point became a multi millionaire.  There is talk of scholarships, and private funding of college, but you don't go from nothing to "elite" without someone behind the scenes.

It is like reading a 21st century version of the Kennedy family, and their ties to corruption to build a political dynasty that gave us John, Robert and our favorite today ... Teddy    What will we learn over the years about BHO's background, and who will be alive to testify or be prosecuted?

His personal wealth came from the books he's sold.  His wife makes about 300K as an advisor to some hospital after receiving her degree from Princeton via affirmative action programs because of her ethnicity.  She was also an advisor to a supplier that sold to Wally World.

The questions are where did he get the funds to attend Columbia and Harvard?  Who paid those fees since in between he made about 12K annually as an organizer?

There is quite a bit we may never know about this guy....They are doing a pretty good job of burying all the goodies...

You touch on the main part of my questions.  A man I know that started with old family money, protected it, gained with it, lost a lot of it, but is living well, swears by the thought "You don't build wealth with earned income."  His contention is that it is very few that can earn enough above costs of living to amass wealth. 

Everyone that I know that has reached that wealthy status in our area has had help from somewhere other than their own sweat.  They either had the advantage of family wealth, a benefactor that acted like family, or lucky investing (an acceptable thing in many churches, but that I like to compare to the lottery which is not popular with church leaders).

The way I understand it, his deep pockets came from his book sales. I have also heard that his/hers massive student loans were paid off long before the book sales, however..... makes you wonder.

I believe Hannity did an in depth story on his rise to power and wealth. You might want to try to find that video.

I'd like to know where Biden got all his money. He has been in the Senate literally all his life, but he is still stinking rich. Makes you wonder.

I heard that Sarah Palin and Joe Bidens net worth combined is less than 1 million dollars.  That is based on their manditory release of  tax information that was released after their selection.  He certainly is better off than most of his constituants but he ain't loaded...  They said his retirement account is less than a half million in total value.

Yeah, do you know what her role is at the hospital? To find ways to turn away the uninsured/illegals so that the hospital does not have to give them what essentially amounts to free health care.

The audacity of hypocrisy!

I stand corrected. You are right. He is ranked as the poorest member of congress (according to Google search), however much that is worth. He does have a really nice house and a big 'ol pickup truck (Save the planet, Joe!). That is rich by my standards.

Rich is a relative term to me!  I have a family that I enjoy being with, I have a dog that thinks I'm the King of his world, I own both of my 5 year old vehicles, I have very little debt and when the boiler craps out and someone needs to mow the lawn, I call the landlord and PRESTO, it gets done...I don't and won't own a house because homes will not and have not kept up with basic inflation since about 1965...

I'm wealthy with my entire retirement account stuffed in my wallet (about thrity bucks)!!!!!  I have a pot to piss in and not much more.....It's good to be alive!

Due initially to government regulators meddling, here is my final retirement account from the original MCI.



If you can't read the small print it's $8.05.    That's after of course the 10% early withdrawal penalty.   I had to withdraw early because the new fund manager wanted a $25/quarter admin fee.

Alf, can you loan me 10 bucks?
