Holy crappppp - Joe Biden's net worth...

[240 is Back]

After a lifetime of public service...

$150,000 net worth TOTAL - including the value in his house

[240 is Back]

Obama is worth somewhere between 500k and less than $2 million, from his book sales.


So - combined - the Dem ticket candidates are worth under $2.15 million.

Mccain is worth $110 million.
Romney is what, $400 miilion?

The Mccain/Romney ticket would be worth 250 times more than Obama/Biden ticket. 

yet mccain campaign calls obama a rich, out-of-touch elitist!

[marcus]

What did McCain do to make that kinda money?

[240 is Back]

What did McCain do to make that kinda money?

he was a poor military man.

he dumped his wife and started sleeping with an heiress to a beer fortune.
then he married her.

she funded his political career after that.  he decided to run for congress, and used her connections and $.

He didn't earn a penny of it.

Obama hasn't sent $20 to his hut-living half-brother while one of McCains houses is used to house his elderly aunt. 

Obama is the classic out-of-touch elitist and you don't have to be rich to be that way.

Why do you keep defending the most liberal of candidates versus someone with half a shot of bringing some conservatism back?  Please answer.

Ron paul is the VP selection?  Sweet!

Obama's brother is a street-fighting thug.  Sending money to him would link obama to god knows what crimes... mccain would research the scumbag brother, and then link obama to everything the guy does.  Do you doubt mccian would do this? lol

Sounds like a smart guy.

[LATS]

 obama stated he made 4 million last year.. trust me, by the time obama is mccain's age he will be worth more than maccain ever was.. to compare the two when one is in his 40's to one that is in 70's is silly.. 30 more years of "public service" by obama will make mccain's worth seem worthless..

Ha!! I would hope he be a fighting man living in a hut in Kenya for christs sake.

$20 would nearly double his annual income.  I thinks it's the least Obama could do.

And I'd like to hear your reasoning for saying McCain didn't earn a penny of it considering his considerable investment property income.

Damn I like this guy, who is he?

This is the type of person we need as president, he should run.

A man that has served his country, and from what yur post reads has actually spent time in Congress.

Let me know the name of this honorable American, yes he can, yes he can, yes he will....be president.

McCain ran for Congress? When?

[240 is Back]

McCain ran for Congress? When?

I think it was 76 or 78?  He became congressman from Ariz.
Then 82 he went for senator?

Wiki knows the dates.

he was beaten and tortured for a decade. ya, he had it easy

[Nordic Superman]

I'm not a McCain (or Obama) fan but this is true.

So he used a wealth spouses financial might, why is this wrong? Arnold leveraged his wife's also, etc. etc. etc.

Maybe you should be more concerned about Biden's economic skills if that's his total worth.

It doesn't sit well with McCain's assertion that Obama is elitist - but there isn't a set threshold (of financial wealth) for being elitist. For example both of them are probably more elitist than Bill Gates.

LOL @ you playing the POW card.

I thought it was 5.5 years?

You said 10.  Maybe we can round it up to 20.  Much classier number.

[Tre]

After a lifetime of public service not having a fucking job...

Fixed.

$150,000 net worth TOTAL - including the value in his house

I don't buy that number. 

[OzmO]

I don't believe Biden is wroth only 150K

1 year is enough. "No McCain, you can't become prez until you serve atleast 20 years being tortured by the Koreans."

Biden is worth way more than 150K, seriously, I love how you pick and chose which lies to believe.

Sen.Joe Biden(D-Del.)

Net worth: $100,000-$150,000

Details: Biden has spent virtually his whole life in public service and does not have much else aside from investments in a small array of mutual funds and cash accounts. He received a $112,000 advance from Random House for a book in 2005.

That # is bullshit. 

As a senator, I believe he alone makes at least $170,000 per yr plus all sorts of perks & great benefits (and they deserve them...but still should be doing more!)

Cindy McCain's family built a great company that employs many people and helps our economy.  Don't demonize people that worked hard for success.

Romney did not come from ultra wealthy beginnings, he made his $ by being smart.  Having someone like him in office makes a lot of sense because of fiscal responsibility.

Research Biden.  He makes less than 300k per year for his 35 year congressional salary.  He donates all the $ he makes at appearances to charity, and has a very modest book deal.  He pays his mortgage and takes care of his family - a great deal of insurance, etc.

Nobody is hating on mccain for being rich - only when mccain claims obama is an out of touch elitist.

mccain doesn't know what milk or gas cost.  He think $50 per hour is what mexicnas are getting to pick lettuce.
