The funny thing was: his high school classmates were telling that me that a young Barry Obama used to scoop ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. They said one the side, he used to slip them some free ice cream and frozen yogurt. I sort of have coaxed it out of them because they didn’t want to acknowledge it first. And I said, look, the statute of limitations is past, it’s been 30 years now. They laughed and said, ‘OK, he gave us free ice cream.’”
So, while working at one of the precious few jobs Obama has ever had, he stole from his employer. And CNN’s reporter, Ed Henry thought he was sharing a cute Obama story.

“So, while working at one of the precious few jobs Obama has ever had, he stole from his employer.”
How is that any different from now?
nothing changes. CNN still thinks its cute.
Doesn’t that just fit Obama’s political outlook? No hesitation in redistributing property that isn’t his to redistribute.
He’s still at it.
Just spreading the 31 flavors around.
The only difference is the scale of the larceny.
I strongly suspect that a call to Baskin Robbins’ corporate historian will result in the tidbit that they didn’t start serving frozen yogurt in their northern locations until the late 1980’s. My guess, like much of Obama’s ‘public’ history, that this is yet another fake story.
So he wouldn’t think much of throwing away, hundreds of billions of the tax payer’s money.
Bloomberg had a fantastic article this week showing that the average employee theft was 300% greater than that of the average shoplifter and almost all of it came in the form of “sweetheart” checkouts by providing deeply discounted, or free, merchandise when a friend or relative checks out at the counter.
It was part of a piece on gift card theft. Dishonest clerks are issuing bogus gift cards and then selling them on eBay or using them themselves. One 22 or 23 year old woman at Saks Fifth Avenue stole something like $120,000+. Another technique is if you bought a gift card, they would give you an empty one and then put your balance on a new one they swiped for themselves.
Treating the Presidency as if he won the lottery and travel the world, our Country, and one vacation after another spending billions of tax money proves he still steals. Many of his trips are campaigning for himself or another Democrat. That to me is stealing.
It’s illustrative of how Obama handles our (the people’s) money too.
How many billions did he give to his friends at ACORN? That they are still receiving? Fannie and Freddie? The unions at GM and Chrysler? He’s just slipping his friends some free billion-dollar ice cream.
He treats his friends well. You get nothing if you’re not a friend, though, THEN you have to pay. And you have to pay MORE so Obama can cover the free stuff he’s giving his friends.
I don’t believe the affirmative action president ever worked a day in his life.....
Lookee here mah brutha!......I gonna hook you up!!!! Back that ‘cone’ on up in heyah!!! Thas whut I’m talkin bout!!!
We can partly blame Ted Sorensen.

He really did win the lottery. The man certainly was not elected on merit.

I was going to post a similar sentiment, but you all beat me to it.
Embezzler-in-Chief - another fine title to add to his resume.
This happens too much
One of my relatives -a now FORMER bleeding heart liberal- hired some minorities until video showed them giving away free stuff to ‘they homies’
Not one, but 3 different employees
