Obama Says "I Do Think At A Certain Point You've Made Enough Money"

[1994buttons]

Does that include your pay checks Mr. President??

[mrpcnomore]

Excuse me Mr.President,does that go for your girl friend Ophy? Or the hollywood elitist like Tom my Bank account is loaded Hanks and George the clueless looney Clooney? Or your pals like Lebron and his buds in the NBA? Or how about George i want to own all the money in the world Soros? In this case yes,cause he is the biggest danger in the world and should be charged with crimes against the world.But you never mention him or anyone else mentioned here.Only CEO'S are bad in your world.

[mattdd05]

@mrpcnomore Yeah let's blame Obama because his friends are rich. Is he their accountant? Does he control how much money they make. He's simply stating that he thinks some people make to much money. Who cares if Obama makes money too? At least he's brave enough to say that some rich people are too greedy.

[dalmatian847]

@mattdd05 Except he didn't seem to direct those comments to the likes of George Soros, his political sugar daddy. Nor Oprah, the rest of the Hollywood limosine liberal crowd or his buddies in the NBA. Why is running a fortune 500 company considered less important than say having a daytime talk show? Or for that matter getting 2O mill for a movie, or 100 mill to dribble a basketball?

You couldn't cut the hypocrisy with a chainsaw. It's so thick with this guy.

[mattdd05]

@dalmatian847 Just because my friends are all murderers, does that mean I have to be in favour or murder? He didn't direct the comments to anyone PUBLICLY, but anyone who knows that they have an excess of money knows that he is talking about them. What do you want from him, to name the exact list of people who have too much money. The amount of money that one considers "too much" is arbitrary, everyone has their own opinion.

[dalmatian847]

@mattdd05 I'd like him to mind his own damn business and focus of why he was hired. To fix an economy that has gotten worse under his watch. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who was taking to as he has gone on record attacking the compensation of hedge fund managers and CEO's.

What he has not gone on the record attacking is the the outrageous compensation of his pals in Hollywood , professional sports and trial lawyers.

The POTUS' isn't just another opinion, now is it?

[godvia]

@dalmatian847 Do actors, athletes and trial lawyers manipulate the financial system that we all have to adhere to??

[dalmatian847]

@godvia Does George Soros and Warren Buffet? I don't recall Obama singling them out, do you? For that matter , of what relevance is that to my initial points of 1) under what constitutional authority does Obama get to decide "who's made enough money" and 2) the VERY selective outrage that Obama uses in determining this. Kindly explain how a Frankin Rains or Jim Johnson of Fannie Mae made millions by crashing the financial system, yet the main culprit wasn't addressed in the so-called reforms?

[dalmatian847]

@godvia What crashed the financial system "that we all have to adhere to" was misguided liberal housing policy.Pure and simple. That's the policy that former Obama Cheif Economic Advisor Austen Goolsbee defended in 2007, even after it was apperent what had happened. The policy Obama himself thought "was a good idea at the time". Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were omitted from the "sweeping" reform of Dodd-Frank. Wanna take a guess as to why?

[godvia]

@dalmatian847 "Liberal housing policy"..Good to see I can have an impartial discussion with you. But I'll pass.

[dalmatian847]

@godvia Facts are neither partial nor impartial. That's why you call them facts. The C.R.A was introduced in 1977 by Jimmy Carter. The repeal of Glass-Steagall was introduced into law by Bill Clinton. The concept that "everyone has a RIGHT to a decent home" was part of the so-called Second Bill of Rights of FDR.

Now, if Carter, Clinton, and FDR were somehow conservatives, I must have missed that memo.

[VerbotenDingleberry]

I do think at a certain point you've got enough power...

Jackass.

November.

[LEFT4BASS]

@VerbotenDingleberry You Are awesome

[LEFT4BASS]

He is such a hypocrite. I bet anything if he was earning 2 million a day and they told him he'd earned his money, he'd be pissed.

[dalmatian847]

@LEFT4BASS Funny he didn't mention George Soros, or Warren Buffett or Oprah. when have they "made enough money"?

[LEFT4BASS]

@dalmatian847 When democrats have lots of cash, it's ok, but when republicans have lots of money, it's greedy. That's how it is to them.

[dalmatian847]

@LEFT4BASS Of course it is.

[Artisticer]

@LEFT4BASS You're correct - AND, even though Conservatives on the whole are MORE GENEROUS than Liberals (even without the variable of church giving). See the book, WHO REALLY CARES by Arthur C. Brooks - the findings of his research to see who really cared, the Left or the Right, blew his left-leaning mind & he was forced to change his pre-conceived notions. Conservatives not only give more money, they also volunteer more time and give more blood.

[gone556]

So your saying this isnt America anymore.

[mattdd05]

@gone556 It's pretty sad if you think America means earning 500 mill per year while other people starve to death on the streets and have to sell their homes because they can't afford medical operations. God bless America!

[MrRubicon420]

"at a certain point youve made enough money" says whom? you?

everyone but him and his fellow democrats can make enough money, but not them

hate to break it to him, but thats socialism.

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Another gem out of president shitheads mouth.

[2011Neal]

This Guy is a total Fool

[klinkratface]

He should tell that to that fat bee-itch Oprah.
