The Reason I will Continually Donate To Obama's Campaign, even though right now he doesnt need it.
You wanna know what the reason is? He doesnt have the money like Hillary and Bill does to make a 5 million dollar loan out of his own money. He cant compete with all of that. The man has a net worth of around 1 million dollars. Now while I dont feel bad for him at all, that basically eliminates him from being able to do what the Clinton's are doing.

1. Are you serious?? How did he afford the million dollar house?
I think he sold some books just like the Clintons did.

6. I know, I said that. His net worth is around 1.3 million I think. Hardly poor
But him spending 5 million dollars would be impossible, because he doesnt have that.

8. I'm pretty sure he has a mortgage
Not saying that the Obama family is poor by any means, they are certainly upper-middle class. But they are also not wealthy.

11. Er, I live in a 200K house, but my net worth is
not 200k, and I certainly don't make 100K per year.

12. I will be sending Obama a check tomorrow
Every little bit helps. I will send him a check tomorrow. I want him to raise $40 million in February and blow people's minds.

7. my uncle makes more money than he does
my uncle is a commodities broker, lives in New Jersey, owns two homes and a boat. Has six kids, is sending them all to college - no scholarships - also has 12 dogs (St. Bernards).

He's my definition of rich.
