President Obama was not broke two years ago. He made most of his money on the books he authored. However, he was a practicing attorney for several years, along with being a state senator for 8 years, followed by being elected to the Senate in 2004. His wife had an excellent six figure salary as did Senator Obama. You don’t have a clue about the things you say. Here’s a tip, stop believing every email that comes your way and check with several sources, both right and left, and you’ll find a much more accurate and honest representation.

As for the RW lie about Brazil, just more twisting of the facts, distorting reality so as to make it appear negative for the President. If he found the cure for cancer, you’d complain about the pharmaceutical companies no longer making money on chemotherapeutic drugs.

Two years ago, the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed complaining about President Obama’s decision to “finance oil exploration off Brazil.” Although the article noted that it was only a “preliminary commitment,” conservatives expressed outrage over Obama’s supposed decision to finance drilling in Brazil and not at home instead. The issue resurfaced when gas prices spiked in March, prompting a round of attacks against the president. In reality, however, President Obama has not financed drilling in Brazil. The loan given was issued to Brazil by The Export Import Bank, an independent, non-taxpayer funded organization, and requires that the money be used to purchase American products, stimulating America’s economy and creating American jobs.

When the President goes on a personal vacation, the taxpayer pays the transportation as they have always done for any president and the cost of the security detail. All other personal expenses are covered by the First Family. So did you mind flying Bush back and forth to Dallas or Reagan to California? Never heard any Republicans complain about Nancy sending Air Force One for her hairdresser…imagine that?!
If President Obama and his family stayed in Washington, you’d all complain about the fact that he’s a millionaire and could be contributing to the economy by going on vacation. Such freaking hypocrisy!

It was also amended under Obama. It is not quite as egregious as under Bush, but shhhh. Don’t bother anyone with facts:-)
