Now how did that happen? Imagine the outrage if Trump's wealth were to only increase 248%.

^^^^^ More made up stupid shit. :lol:
We've been over this already, Tool.
Obama was worth $4 million when he started and was worth $12 million when he left. That's an $8 million increase while in office (200% of previous net worth). Half of the increase ($4 million) was salary and expense money.
It looks like you need to add remedial math classes to the ESL and remedial English classes you already take.

Tell us oh great know it all, How is it a public servant living on a yearly salary can increase his personal wealth from 4 million to 12 million in 8 years and do it legally

When Barry first popped up as a serious candidate, I read his disclosures and he was worth less than 1 m.
How he got from 1 to 4 m is unknown unless book revenues propped him up.
As to the 60 m book deal, doesn't that smack of some sort of payoff?
Look, nobody is going to read even one of his cobbled-together books, right?

johnny, Obama got a $1.9 million advance for The Audacity of Hope (and two other books-a 3 book deal) in 2006 for one thing.
It was published in October and quickly went to no. 1 on the non-fiction list. It made a lot of money in the next three months.
It also paid out millions in royalties while he was in office.
"In 2009, Obama's book sales peaked and he grossed nearly $5.7 million, according to his income tax statement; by 2010, gross book revenues had dropped to $1.6 million. This year the amount he's taking home in book sales is even lower: between $150,000 and $1.1 million, according to Tuesday's disclosure report.-May 16, 2012"
(He also made $3.2 million in salary.)
"Look, nobody is going to read even one of his cobbled-together books, right?"-johnfoibles
Nobody has to READ it, johnny.
All they need to do is BUY it and put it on their coffee tables, which they will.
Look at your own coffee table and see the crap you keep there. :lol:

Last year, Michelle alone got a $25 Million advance on a book that hasn't even been started, so how do you figure only $12 Million total, oh they got another $60 million for yet another book just last week. If you really think the Obama's are only worth $12 million your full of it.

Well, I guess now I have to write "BARACK Obama" whenever I say "Obama" for all the dimwitted here.
You said "Obama's wealth". That's what I addressed, dummy.
When talking about Michelle Obama, everyone says "Michelle" or "Michelle Obama".
Michelle's money is a separate issue. But if you think her book advance is illegal proceeds from the Presidency, by all means call the cops, dummy. :lol:
If you meant to talk about both Obamas together, people say "the Obamas".
ESL classes, Tool, ESL classes.
You should know what you're saying before you start talking or writing.
"...oh they got another $60 million for yet another book just last week"-RealTool
Obama did not leave the Presidency "last week" you moron. :lol:
"If you really think the Obama's are only worth $12 million your full of it."-RealStool
I never said "the Obama's are worth $12 million" today, you imbecile.
I said Obama was worth $12 million when he left office 6 weeks ago. I said that because you said "as president" in the thread title. Whatever they both made AFTER Obama left office cannot be said to be money Obama made "as president."
ESL classes, Tool, ESL classes.
So Tool, why didn't you provide any evidence for your claim that Obama was worth $100 million when he left office?
I guess you realized you were duped again by some made up stupid shit from your handlers, eh?

Clown's best argument is that the Obama's "only" increased their net worth by 300% while President. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Imagine if Trump increases his net worth by 300% while President. Does anyone here think libtards will say "it was only 300%" no big deal. :shock:

A president is given a house, a plane, food, servants, so I salute Obama if he did indeed save most of his presidential salary.
After all, I think about money 25 hours every day.
However, I'm shocked that Clowntoker is criticizing my coffee tables,
Well, I do have a very nice marble one made by my father. Not the marble, he got that from an old hotel, but the frame.
The other ones do not contain any books by Obama. There is a nice one about Matisse.
But the trauma of having my coffee tables criticized may scar me for life.

No, Tool, I said Obama increased his net worth by 200% while President. That's $8 million from book sales and salary.
You're getting misled by your ignorance of percentages.
Trump could increase his net worth by just 2% and still walk away with more than the measly $8 million that Obama made legitimately.
If Trump only increases his alleged worth by just 10% in four years, he will have made $1 BILLION dollars. Can you grasp that $1 billion dollars is a bit more significant than $8 million, Tool?
Trump's hypothetical 10% increase would be 12,500% more than Obama made while in office.
The difference is, Obama made his money through his salary and royalties on his book written before he became President, not while he was President. Guys like Trump think Obama is a sucker for not using the power of his position to make more money while President.
Trump will not make his money from royalties and salary, so where is it going to come from, Tool?
Hint: China, India, Russia, Asian sweat shops, etc....
Imagine if Trump increases his net worth by $1,000,000,000 while President. Does anyone here doubt rightards will say "it was only 10%" no big deal. Obama made 200%. :shock:
So Tool, why didn't you provide any evidence for your claim that Obama was worth $100 million when he left office?

9 of 10 dentists in a recent survey concluded that Clowntoker's postings could, in the context of a regularly scheduled program of oral hygiene, contribute to caries.

When you bother to ask RealTool to post a link as proof of his idiotic shit he pulled out of his ass above, or when you bother to ever post a link to back up your pure bullshit (which you have never done) then maybe you will have some standing to ask others for proof.
Until then, you're nothing but another hypocritical partisan asshole licking the balls of anyone spewing the most absurd Trump propaganda. In other words, you're a useful tool of your handlers.
Get back to us when you grow a pair and decide to walk the walk, you loud-mouthed hypocritical weasel.

Probably considerable.
I'm still trying to figure out how, while LBJ was in office, his wife was able to acquire so many radio/TV stations in her name and get rich.
What does a president make, 400 or so? With a free house, plane, limos, food, and health care, a smart fellow could save all that after-tax.
Over 8 years, could add a couple mil to net worth.

Justme...Obama's financials were put into a blind trust. He had no input to the trust and had no updates as to any activities in the trust. I really think you should stop reading the Drudge and Breitbart websites.

In most blind trusts, ya can see the account balance on a quarterly basis.
One of the most realistic comments on politics was from Bill Clinton who said, when somebody tells you it isn't about the money, it is about the money.
Obama talks about socialism and sharing the wealth, but you can bet your bottom dollar he wants to be a multi-millionaire and live in the lap of luxury forever.

What's that got to do with the pay offs that earned him over 100 million in book deals for books that haven't even been written? The people who paid the Obamas all that money didn't do it because they thought the would make a profit from the books...it's legal bribes. Just as Chelsea Clinton received $20 million to write a book that's ranked #1,780 on the best sellers list, only 620 copies sold. Follow the money.

Tool, Obama is not in office and has no power. There is no point in anyone giving him a "bribe" last week.
Of course they are expecting to make money off the deals.
And the crap about Chelsea Clinton getting $20 million for that book is just more of your immense pile of made up stupid shit.

Rumors are like 65 million or so in book deals.
Unless you are Clive Cussler or Stephen King, don't expect to make much off a book.
The Clintons got like 12 million on their book deals in the past, but it simply doesn't seem even remotely possible that more than a few people would buy the book/books from Barry.
So the numbers just don't make any sense.

I wonder what former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, who writes the books published under Obozo's name, was paid for his efforts.

I've examined with care the financial disclosure forms Clowntoker filed as part of his forum membership.
His net worth of $438.12 is impressive, but it is based mostly upon stock he owns in National Burlap, Inc.
