Oh, looky.......... Why does the govt continue to waste our hard earned dollars on anything and everything? And enriching Obama too with book sales...this should be illegal...it certainly is unethical. Don't they care that we're up to our ears in debt? LOL, did I really ask that?
In the scheme of things, it's not that much money for Obama. But it's the APPEARANCE of the thing that he just doesn't seem to give a flyin (*)(*)(*)(*) about. His arrogance reaches new levels with every passing day.
It sure does. And people have come to expect anything from him. He knows no limits. Thank God we can vote him out next year, put this disaster behind us - and begin to repair the damage.
He's going to make millions of dollars when he gets out of office and I'm sure she will too. He has a book deal (with Bill Ayers as ghost writer, no doubt) and she will get one too. They are set for life, regardless. The puny $6000 or whatever he gets on royalties from this little State Depart. venture means nothing to him. It does however, mean a lot to someone like me. I could use that kind of money. Millions of other Americans could too. Once again, he just doesn't give a sh** how this looks to an America that is financially suffering.
Puny 6,000 dollars or not. Something stinks about taking taxpayer dollars, and spending on a product that you will gain royalties on... Sounds like something you'd go to jail for in other environments.
We are probably getting sacked for 70k for every two minutes of the war in Afghanistan. Not that this should get any sort of free pass, but honestly, is this book debacle what you really want to focus on?
Leslie Paige, of Citizens Against Govt Waste....so now you're a name dropper. Big deal. And there you go trivializing govt waste. How unimpressive your post was....
If we dropped them on the Taliban's heads, I might be for it. It's a lot cheaper than a Hellfire missile, and just as dense. _
Of course, he doesn't - never has, never will. That guy has shown from the beginning that it's just all about him and he does not care about others ..... he is a classic definition of narcissism...... sometimes I think a sociopath...
Agreed, but I doubt it will happen. They will all get off Scot free...watch and see. Nothing will happen to Ubama or Holder.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/oct/25/state-department-buys-70000-worth-obama-memoir/ Glad to see Obama is getting rich by a department that he is in charge of, buying books to stock libraries and give out as gifts. How much more corrupt can we get?
$70K? Yes, it must be part of Obama's get rich quick scam....... http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-04-15/news/27061807_1_obama-s-nobel-income-tax-day 'always been in it for the money....
Oh dear, more false claims from Conmike. It's as if his brain is directly connected to a Rightwing Noise Machine feed. It's so predictable. Almost boring.
LOL, weren't the libs whining earlier this week about Herman Cain buying his own books? Poor Herman isn't as lucky as Barack. He doesn't have a whole State Dept to do his dirty work for him.
What does that have to do with the State Dept spending tax dollars to buy Barack's book??? What's your point... are they paying him back for giving to charity?
The claim is false and distorts the facts. Yep. That's what happens when your brain is on Obamaphobia. And no, you have to back up your bizarro claims. It's your OP. But I'm glad you've admitted you can't.
Ooops. Nothing new here. Embassies typically stock presidential books -- like they did with Bush's tome. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/26/state-department-defends-7000-purchase-obama-memoirs/
