And he will pay a CPA to find all possible deductions so he can keep more of that money he makes – since he doesn’t really want to give it to the govt.
Obama made more than $20million in 8 years. It’s all honest, legally earned and all itemized money (see Forbes)! Let’s try that with the fraud-in-chief, who still has yet to show his tax returns! Open the bets on how much the imposter will declare he made in four years in the Oval Office. My bet is, his yearly salary X 4 = about $1.6 million… with a straight face! Not one dime more! ROTF etc…
Yeah, let’s be real, in the grown up world $16 million, even $60 million, is nothing. Compared to what a CEO makes we compensate our president with next to nothing. Complaining about Obama’s “wealth” is petty and small. Compared to what Trump makes, and wastes, every day.
Is this strip for real? Do you NOT know who TRUMP is? How about all the money Trump made with his FAKE school? Man you guys keep grasping at straws. Oh and here’s a little tid bit for you guess who is making the most making speeches?? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/washingtons-highest-lowest-speaking-fees/story?id=24551590#1.
$16 million Obama earned equates to what 5 1/2 weekends at Mar-a-Lago COST the American taxpayers. $60 million for book deal equates to the Trump Tower security costs for Melania for 4 months since she won’t move to White House ($500K per day). As ELEANTPIE stated, $400K is what 2 Mar-a-Lago memberships cost after Trump doubled the price after election and I’m sure many foreign entities are buying these memberships for influence.
Sir, you earned more then $16 million during your presidency, your next book deal is expected to net another $60 million, and now you’re taking $400,000 for a speaking engagement. Why do you think a black man is allowed to make that kind of money?
In 2010, Obama said in a campaign speech, “At some point I think you’ve made enough money.” Many commenters here accuse the cartoon of holding Obama to a different standard that Republicans are held to. But clearly it is Obama who held others to a standard that he is not willing to abide by himself.

I heard a proposal that earnings over $35,000 a month should be taxed at 100%

How much does Sarah Palin get these days? And she didn’t even serve out her term as governor.

And yet, not a peep when all those Republican ex-Congressmen such as Boehner became lobbyists…

After taxes, $400K is not enough for 2 memberships at Mar-a-Lago since Trump doubled the price right after he won the election.

Don’t expect Kelley to pass up any opportunity to try and “stick it” to President Obama. He may still be in awe that Trump won back in November.

Is Obama somehow unique in this regard? If not, why single him out? Blind hatred, maybe?

@David Illig. Racism, maybe?

But I guess if you earn $1Billion in a year betting against homeowners being able to keep their homes, then everything Obama does is treachery!
