Concerning the big flap about the Rosen woman’s remark that Mit Romney’s wife “never worked a day in her life”, I just can’t understand why any supporter of BHO would say a thing like that when BHO never had a real job in HIS life.

That occur to anybody else?

They're raising hypocracy to a fine art...They must be idiots thinking no one notices!

There's MORE!

Obama paid lower tax rate than secretary

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had a combined income of $789,674 in 2011 but paid a lower tax rate the president's secretary, who made less than $100,000, the White House confirmed Friday.

The Obamas paid an effective rate of 20.5 percent. White House aides would not reveal presidential secretary Anita Breckenridge’s tax rate but confirmed it was higher than the first family's rate. Breckenridge earned $95,000 last year.

The Obamas' rate is less than the 30 percent the president wants millionaires to pay under his proposed Buffett Rule.

Have any of 'em worked? BHO skated through life thanks to academia, Romney was born loaded...maybe their wives held real jobs? Did the Romney wife raise her kids herself or have a legion of nannies and such? Did Michelle Obama raise her kids herself or hold a real job outside the home?

In any event it was a stupid thing to say, stay at home moms are like slaves to cruel little midgets.

Michelle has a no show job that paid 300K. She chose to not be at home and pursue other things... That's fine but don't crap on someone who choses to keep a home and raise a family with less, because the family is their priority.

BTW, Romney gave away the money he inherited and pretty much made all he has now. A little reported fact in the MSM democrat pravda.

Nah...
GOP "war on women"...............FAIL!
1% hatred and class envy...........FAIL!

All from the democrat party that dresses their ladies hair with golf clubs and leaves them in cars upside-down to drown in the slough, limosine liberals who want the power to rule the less hyper-literate masses while enjoying their bubbly in their private jet at the public expense! Maybe cashing their government check for coding away our personal information and making a bundle off it.

There only hope now is in illegal voters and welfare check recipients. You know the ones that like being illegal voters and welfare check recipients rather than working. They're dumb enough to fall for the "hopey changey" again.

No, anyone earning more than $1,000,000 is what they're calling a millionaire (according to the Buffett Rule). In fact, when asked why Obama isn't in the 30% tax bracket the answer was because his adjusted gross income was less than $1,000,000. You might be getting the 250k number from the Bush tax cuts.

[ratherfish]

yep, you're right!
Sorry about that.

Fact is Jan.1st 2013 WE see the biggest tax increase in the history of the country!

We don't have a budget because it would restrain democrat spending.

We now have the highest corporate tax in the world!

Hard to keep all the progressive/liberal jackass tax and spend spin separated.

BTW anyone mention that one of Buffet's companies has been in court for the last 10 years avoiding millions in taxes? Just how black does a pot have to be???????????

For completeness sake, the company in question is NetJets, where customers are listed as fractional owners of a private jet. Article here:

My favorite quote from the article:

Howard Gleckman, a resident fellow at the Tax Policy Center who also want the wealthy to pay more taxes, says “I don’t think it is hypocritical to take full advantage of existing law while, at the same time, urging that the law be changed.”

I wonder if they itemized rather than took the standard deduction.

Maybe he treated being President as a business and opened all the nice little goodies allowed to them.. Example...If you pay for your own health care,,,Personally it is subject to the 7 1/2% floor....To a bizness,,100% deductible.. and thats just the begining

You guys are missing the best part of this whole release of tax information by Obama that Conservatives everywhere should be all over:

Both he and his wife (separate of each other) gave each of their two daughters $12k apiece for a total of $48k. So BHO gave each kid $12k apiece, and Michelle gave each kid $12k apiece. Why? Because under a section of the federal tax code, this "donation" to their kids is exempt from being taxed by the fed. It's a tax shelter. $48k tax free!! Completely legal, but don't you know that if Romney had done that it would be front page news on every liberal media outlet in America.

To quote the article:

"The Obama’s tax return indicates that the gifts, likely for their daughter’s college educations, began in 2007, when the maximum exemptible amount was $24,000 per couple. The maximum exemption has since increased to $26,000 per couple."

"There is nothing illegal about the president’s taking advantage of this tax shelter, but it does raise eyebrows given that he has lamented the myriad tax exemptions used by the wealthy—“millionaires and billionaires” like himself—to pay less in taxes. He has yet to propose a comprehensive plan to reform the byzantine tax code."

If we're lucky the only thing he will be reforming is the address on his stationary.

The presidents do get billed for their meals (excepting state dinners). Its a start at least.

Does someone really keep track? Apparently, the White House functions like a luxury hotel in this regard. At the end of each month, the president receives a bill for his food and incidental expenses. Nancy Reagan was famously taken aback by this practice when an usher presented her first bill in 1981, saying, “Nobody ever told us the president and his wife are charged for every meal, as well as incidentals like dry cleaning, toothpaste, and other toiletries.” (Once they got used to the bills, though, the Reagans loved the White House; President Reagan often joked that all the amenities made it like living in an eight-star hotel.)
