On the other hand, Obama's net worth has quintupled since he took office? Why is it that politicians who are financial failures in every other walk of life suddenly become financial geniuses as soon as they take office?
Follow the money, but nobody ever does to find out how these briberies take place under the radar.
Obama's finances are pretty much an open book (he has released his tax returns unlike Mitt) there has been no indication he has increased his wealth in any illegal way, since becoming President. I recall before he was elected there was some mini-scandal regarding his house or lot next to his house in Chicago. That was about it, he doesn't really seem driven by money, some people aren't. His wealth has increased primarily from books he has written. Clinton is now quite wealthy and it always seemed to me he had more corruptible persona than Obama but I dont believe he acquired his wealth while being President. Becoming President makes you a celebrity and book deals and speaking engagements flow forth.

CAptainDB: please don't put words I didn't say in to a supposed quote from me.

You might think I'm obnoxious. I don't give a rat's ass.
I apologize Marcus I was trying to satirize your post.
I should have done it with literal quotes, and not the block quote (X) "Says" forum format.

So you are saying the bribery takes place by subsidizing book deals and speaking engagements, with lots of free promotion and publicity? Gee, it's so simple, even a Republican can do it!

And they do, that's the system we have. Regan did it, G W Bush just did a preface and put his stamp of approval on a book called "The 4% Solution". Obama's books were written before he became President but absolutely benefited from him running and becoming President, but I dont think anyone ( well maybe you are) is claiming this is what "drove" him to running, nice side benefit though.

So Romney is 'accused' of shipping jobs overseas. He did. He made massive profits for himself and the companies he represented..He's a qualified EXPERT at it. He beat the system within the rules laid out.

Most pundits say Romney is not qualified to run the country due to the above....
I say it is precisely why he IS qualified to run the country on the world stage. He has a proven track record of beating whatever system he is put into, within the rules of the system. He is our Expert Card Shark. Put him in the big cahuna's chair, negotiating all these trade agreements with China, et al.
When it was his responsibility to ship the jobs out, he was successful, and found a way...
Now, put him in a job where it is his responsibility to get them back.
Whoever he has worked for has flourished....Lets make him now work for the USA.
