Obama Earned $477,000 in 2014 as Income Continues to Lower

[Straw Man]

simply amazing... and extreme telling

yep, pretty crazy that someone could not understand the difference between those two things

I'm sure you could explain it to the average 5th grader and they would understand it without a problem

we're back to the perennial question about Bum

willful stupidity or true ignorance

Are we supposed to believe he doesn't understand the difference between earning income overseas, reporting it and paying taxes as opposed to trying to hide assets overseas with the intent to avoid paying taxes.

does he really believe those two virtually opposite things are actually the same?

This is a trick question right?

The third chart is .01 percent, not 1 percent. 

You are absolutely right. I need to be more careful about what I post. Chalk one up for you. Obama is in the top 1% according to 2010 statistics. Unfortunately for him, he's falling short of this benchmark today.

Obama should give back his salary since he hasn't done anything productive since he entered office. That way he will raise the salary of the women in his administration that are getting paid less than their male counterparts.

Whether Obama earned his salary is a matter of opinion. I'm fairly sure he believes he earned it. I doubt he is alone.

No worries.  Nobody is keeping a scorecard. 

Obama is likely going to get more than $10 million for his first post-presidency book.  He will earn six figures for every canned speech.  His people have already bought a house for him in Hawaii on one of the nicest spots on earth.  Nothing unfortunate about any of that for him.

Yup, he doing and probably will do what other Presidents have done after leaving office.

It would be entertaining to hear him try to explain why he thinks that earning income overseas, reporting that income and paying taxes on that income is the same (to him) as hiding assets overseas in order to avoid paying taxes

I'm guessing he cannot explain this.
