Jay Leno reported that the winds from Isaac are expected to become so strong that it may actually blow some of Mitt Romney's money back into the USA from the Caymans.

And when Donald Trump was asked whether Isaac could be an act of God directed against the RNC convention in Tampa he said, "I don't get involved in the weather."

Wonder how much his opponent salted away in other places around the globe?

The Obama's are noveau-rich from their book deals and legal careers. They have not had time to soak away yet. Someday they might, but not yet.

The Romney's are silver-spoon trust baby rich. They have been soaking for a long time, since birth.

Big difference.

So as long as you've only been a millionaire for a little while that makes it all ok huh?

Regardless of what money Romney had while growing up or inherited, Romney has earned the wealth he has, a complete moron only needs a year to squander any amount of cash they can possibly inherit

Yah he "earned" it by robbing the corporations that he sacked.

Romney is the "problem" not the "solution."

I've known for a long time now, that there are extremely rich people and I am not one of them. I am not going to lose any sleep over it. Sure, it would always be nice to have more money, but "thems the breaks". I also know that I am not the poorest of people either. For that I am grateful. Teachers talking about "We don't make enough money", for example. First, didn't they have a ballpark idea of what a teacher made before they went to college to be a teacher? Second, if they didn't, then they are somebody I really don't want teaching my kids anyway. If they wanted to make what a doctor or lawyer make, they should have went to medical or law school. Unless a person gets an awful lot of fortunate breaks and a TV exec. gives you a show called "Hair Dresser to the Rich", don't take a cosmetology course if you want to buy a vacation home in the Hamptons. Just my .02. Just saying, a lot of people want what a few of the very fortunate have. It don't work that way. Besides, there are people with not a lot of money that are very happy. In that way, THEY are fortunate. Some people have a lot of money that are miserable, in that way, THEY are unfortunate.

Jealousy is such an ugly trait.

Jealousy is such an ugly trait.

Exactly, just like Obama saying "If you have a business, you didn't build that". YES, YOU did. If a guy has a business at the end of the road that I helped pave, that's HIS business. If I had a job with a construction crew that paved the road to said business, I helped pave that road for a paycheck. Nothing more. I could care less what somebody builds at the end of the road. If the man invents something and puts up a building in which to mass produce it, up said road. Good for him. He is the one getting investors, hiring contractors, taking the financial risk. I'm at home with my paycheck. I will pave another road for another paycheck. He owes me nothing. By the same token, if he loses his a$$ financially, that's on him. I'm not the one with the thousands or millions owed to the bank. He is. I'll still be getting my check for paving roads.

Moose you need to follow more closely the fact checking broadcasts. That particular Reep soundbite you refer to has been completely discredited.

That you are as yet uninformed, it makes you look really uninformed.

Did I mention you look really uninformed?

It matters how they "got" it Moose.

The Obama's (Mr & Mrs) bootstrapped themselves up and focused on education. They became attorneys. Same story as the Clintons earlier in their own rathole.

Then they became political. Then they were elected by pure luck, when the opponent proved to be inept and incompetent (with "the fundamentals of the US economy are sound" ... remember that gaffe?)

Now the Obama's (Mr and Mrs) are immensely popular the world over and have achieved cult status.

Contrast this with the ego-maniac corporate raiding two faced liar running against them, and it should enable you to place a few well informed bets in Vegas on the outcome in November. Good luck buddy.

you mean revitalizing corporations he lawfully bought for the purpose of saving them from bankruptcy or turning them around from bankruptcy, nice try. That's what venture capital firms do.

in some cases like dominoes pizza the owner sold the company to Bain for a nice amount so he could retire. This happens in the market all the time.

And Obama fails to tell people that the business often time BUILDS the roads. It is common for large companies to build roads, parks, or whatever the local government assigns as part of impact fees. You would think a community organizer would be aware of this fact.

Yet you felt the need to post it? Above is the description of being owned, and why liberalism has turned into a disease.

Wow you are really brainwashed.

Be careful in Vegas though. Dont place any bets there on your man.

Heh heh heh. What I can't figure out is why people keep rising to the obvious Obama kool-aide trolling bait :lol:

Inform me, in which way was it discredited? By others that know it was B.S.? Putting forth some facts? How? Just because you're insulting, doesn't make you right. It must suck to be so pi$$ed off and expect to be given so much from everybody else.

Now that is funny! How would you have any idea that a post was directed at you? Yet you responded again! Might help your credibility if you ACTUALLY ignored.

It is funny though!:monkey
