Thread: Obama and Biden

Hey Milan!

How many houses do YOU have? :lol: :lol:

Is it just me, or is that huge lump on McCain's left cheek getting bigger and bigger? :shock:

Sure, Romney would be a great choice for McCain. Rich and richer...just what Americans need more of in the white house! :roll:

Oh Roy... Obama lives in a 1.5 million dollar house, just bought another and is coming off his 2 week vacation on a private beach in Hawaii. Glass houses and all that you know! :D

America will always have millionaire presidents and presidetial hopefuls because you need to be one to become one... (I learned that on the west wing :D :D ) So who cares how much the guy's house is worth.

My brother lives in 3 million dollar house - and he is just a public servant who has done well in real estate in a booming market. So what? The flat I bought for less than 130k 7 years ago is worth over half a million, nearly every house in my suburb is worth over 1 million.

I'm not surprised that Obama didn't go for Clinton because he believes he can win - and he knows that he wouldn't want to have her as his VP. Perhaps he is not into winning at any cost - i.e. if he has to have her on the ticket to win, then he doesn't want the job? Yeah ok, not likely. Maybe he also thinks Clinton can't win either, so why have her on the ticket?

Roy, :D :D That's all I'm going to say.

I leave it to you, guys, to debate further on this as you're all much more in-depth thinkers on this Forum. I'm more of a broad-thinker and an Agent Provocateur (actually it's the name of the Victoria Secret equal by Vivienne Westwood - an eccentric British designer).
You know my position now although initially, I wasn't enthused by John MacCain either.
Voila!

Ah, come on Jim! You know as well as I, that a 1.5 million dollar house in the US is nothing these days...especially if bought at a foreclosure auction with 5% down! :shock:

Let’s face it...Obama’s net worth is less than a few percent of what McCain is worth, (primarily through his marriage).

Freo, if you did some homework, you might find out that Obama has the lowest net worth of any party endorsed candidate for US President in modern time. He didn’t personally finance his primary election expenses, nor did he loan his campaign money by writing checks! His campaign was, and still is, being financed on a grass root level by individual donations.

Spot on Daniel, and only General Wesley Clark could get away with that very astute and true observation!

Elect me. As a campaign promise I'll reverse that trend overnight.

Just came on the wire. An assassination plot on Obama has been uncovered in Denver.

Great speech by Michele Obama but still, I found the Convention's first night rather hollow.
I wonder what's in store tonight as the Clintons camps are still at odds with the Obamas/Kennedys despite of their attempt to show a unity but you could feel it in the air in my opinion.
