Correct. But that was probably because there was no family business. But he had friends. Remember who constructed the original Obamacare website?
CGI Federal. And it was the overall Healthcare.gov website...and the contract began before Obama was in Office and their "friend" began employment at CGI.

Some of those principles are arguably sociopathic but he's fairly consistent in his pathos (principles)

As soon as Trump releases a Tax return we'll have an understanding
until then we can settle on "con-artists" as his main occupation

For the "But Obama" crowd
His tax returns were pretty simple and straight forward

We don't need a tax return to tell us that. Really - the media wants to know how small his fortune is. :coffee:

Agreed on the con artist regardless of what the returns show.

Obama's problem wasn't shady business dealings but his arrogance in being absolutely positive that he was right and that if others didn't realize that it was because he was ahead of his time and people weren't ready for his brilliance.

Didn't we debate this same thing a year ago?

Presidents cash in on their time in the WH. People want to hear them speak and read what their ghostwriters write, and even the critics on high altitude horses would do the same

Actually I thought the best screwup of any President or Vice President in the last 50 years was when Dan Quayle tried to riff on the American Negro College Fund slogan, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

It was epic

Maybe he misspoke and meant to say the deficit wasn't coming down rapidly
