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.....

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.

I will wait for your link! Originally Posted by bigtex

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.
