It's good to be King!

If you recall, the Obama's already own a house in Chicago. It costs about 3 million dollars.



Not bad for a simple civil servant.....

Interesting chart on estimated net worth of all the presidents in 2010 dollars. I doubt any president could realistically be called a simple civil servant.

I guess you have a link confirming that George Bush used taxpayer money to buy the Ranch or a "mansion." And just to clarify, not one of your lame-ass political hack OP-ED blogs full of ranting bullshit.

Briefly, here's what happened on the Ballpark deal. Bush and his partners in the Rangers convinced Arlington officials to: Pass a half-cent sales tax to pay for 70% of the stadium; use the government's powers of eminent domain to condemn land the Rangers couldn't or didn't want to buy on the open market; give the Rangers control over what happens in and around the stadium; and allow the Rangers to buy the stadium (which cost $191 million to build) for just $60 million. Finally, after 12 years as the sole occupant and primary beneficiary of the stadium project, the Rangers, a privately owned business, can take title to the most expensive stadium ever built in Texas for the $60 million worth of rent and upkeep they will have already paid the city.

Since you were the first to bring up the idea of "the taxpayers' bread ... and fund raising" as being a source of revenue for a mansion. Why don't you supply a link that Obama is engaged in "the taxpayers' bread ... and fund raising" and once you have done so, I will do a search about Shrubbie?

I will wait for your link! Originally Posted by bigtex

The question was should GWB profit off the backs of taxpayers?

He invested 600k and got the taxpayers to give the Rangers a stadium that cost 191 million for 60 million.
