On June 15 2005 Obama paid $1.65 million CASH for his mansion.
How did he do that on a state senator's salary? Or did Wal-Mart pay for their mansion? And if he had $1.65M laying around, why didn't he pay his student loans? Maybe he doesn't have $100M because he's young. Sidebar: Between Bob Shrum and John Kerry - is Obama trying to lose?

Some Democrats are strange. When Hillary said her Dad took her shooting as a kid, some Democrats got hysterical, then they passed out. They can't believe a Democrat would actually fire a gun.

47. bendavid, he had books that sold. Get it? If you damn that, then
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 12:50 PM by roguevalley
damn hilarity and bill's books too. He paid off his loans along the way. Since reality it not your forte, use google to get there.

A house costs that much in chicago. Oh, and its still 108m short of B/H

Nice try, though.

39. It's because s/he stole the line from bartcop.com
Without citing it, i might add.

This is what i wrote to Bart.

"Obama published a book in 1995, dumb ass."

43. He.She. Whatever. They obviously are very ill-informed
about the source of Sen. Obama's money. Go to Amazon. Key in his name. Gee, there are books he's written. Books that were best-sellers. Imagine that.

15. He took out a loan like everybody else.
That's in the Tribune article. What HE paid for the house has never been the issue. It's what Rezko paid for the adjoining lot that's a big, fat problem.

36. Smart man, using his book proceeds to pay for his house.
No getting stuck with some subprime mortgage for Obama.

I don't understand your point except of course that you do not like Obama and no matter what he did you would find fault with it.
