I didn't know they had that kind of money. Does politics in the US really pay that well?

Nope 500k before taxes. But when you write the Net neutrality rules to benefit netflix, they're more than happy to give you 60m after office for your life story. Penguin publishing can also give your wife a 60m book deal when you put one of their cronies in your cabinet.

It does if you do the bidding of the deep state/permanent government, apparently.

President Barack Obama purchased a mansion for $4.9 million in Dubai:

This was debunked three years ago.

This rumor started with an article posted on Jan. 10 by a disreputable news site, WhatDoesItMean.com, under the headline, “Top US Admiral Fired For Questioning Obama Purchase Of Mansion in Dubai.”

Just as a former president's wife, Michelle Obama received a $65 million advance for her memoir, "Becoming," and she reportedly commands a speaking fee of $225,000, according to the linked story.

The Obamas also negotiated a $50 million deal with Netflix to develop programming. They are said to have a net worth of $135 million.

Regardless of what their financial status is when they go in, all Congressmen leave office as millionaires.

Would that sell enough to cover the cost?

'There's only so much you can eat. There's only so big a house you can have. There's only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it's enough."'

Good for them.

Remember when the Republicans were upset the President's family wanted to stay in DC until their second daughter finished high school? They said they wanted to stay to run the resistance to President Trump.

Fox News seems worried when the Obamas stay in town and also when they leave.

but where is the money from?

None of my business. Is it any of yours?

taxpayer money

[–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I do not understand your sentence fragment. If you know President Obama is using taxpayer money illegally you ought to call 911.

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

you ought to call 911.

really? what would that accomplish in your opinion?

You have information about a crime. It is your duty to call the police.

The Republican snowflakes will NEVER stop attacking Obama because they know he will be remembered as one of America's BEST Presidents while their soon to be impeached Russian puppet Trump will be remembered as the WORST. It's funny to watch them squirm.
