You're going to tell me that if you had the kind of money Obama does you wouldn't help your family? I mean $70,000 could buy his aunt a decent home (my house cost $52,000) and $30,000 could probably provide a decent education at a small school for his half brother. That's $100,000. His book sales raised his income to $4.2 million in 2007 according to the NY times. So I'm gonna say he probably wouldn't miss $100,000 too much.

I'm not saying he needs to give a pie in the sky to every member of his family, but if you're making that kind of money and you have family living in poverty or close to it, it really makes me question what you're all about.

Okay, you're really stretching and digging now
I know all you have in your defense is using the word "pubs", blah, blah, blah, but in this case there are DEMOCRATS screaming voter fraud. They are the ones coming out in Ohio and other states saying ACORN is heavily involved in voter fraud. Ya know why? Because they are not wanting Obama in there and they have no problem calling them out. They are not going to stand idly by and let a more than questionable candidate run their country. These are Democratic election officials. What say you?

Stretching the truth aren't ya?
