"Wherever Barack Obama goes, he is accompanied by a huge entourage of aides, Secret Service and campaign staff.
But when the President goes shopping, he still has to handle his own cash, as he showed on Saturday when he bought sausages from a Wisconsin store following a campaign stop in key swing state.
Mr Obama pulled out a wad of bills that looked almost large enough to make a dent in the national debt as he browsed for pork treats alongside Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett"
But then again, no body asked you ;)
It’s just a little walking-around money.
Meh, if that's all he's got then he's nothin....not that we all didn't know that already.
Sorry, but that's a sad excuse of a "wad" and isn't more than the average Joe carries around who uses cash instead of plastic.
It's just not a big deal in my view and is petty.
We disagree. This hollow little man knows how this pic will be presented. He is flashin’ for his peeps in the media. He is all ass AND hole, and is worthy of our scorn and derision.
This is a “President” of firsts; first Muslim pres, first homosexual, pres, and first pimp pres. He is an awful human who has brought my country(not his!) to the brink. And for the sake of a photo op, he flashes someone else’s cash like thug pimp wannabe. You can defend his action here, but I won’t..
Yes we do, no thang...but I also see him doing this as a distraction knowing some will jump on it and make it a story.
Any way you slice it, he isn't holding more than a couple hundred dollars (if those are all twenty's)
I’m really starting to hate this guy. It is an unhealthy hatred..
Yes, hate is an ugly emotion, but there is a time for it.
Read Ecclesiastes....specifically chapter 3:8
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Full chapter: Ecclesiastes 3 (King James Version)
The choom dealers don’t take credit cards.
Apparently Obama never heard of debit cards. Nobody carries around wads of cash anymore, unless they’re drug dealers. Cash is filthy and germy, especially if you’ve got a stack of it. You don’t know where it’s been.
A couple months ago, when he was at a restaurant table with 3-4 soldiers, he skipped out on the ticket. A couple weeks after that, he failed to pay the bill again. He's the one making a big deal out of this because he has to have the cameras showing his adoring public that he does pay his bills.
I didn't know that, thanks for the info.....doesn't surprise me though, freakin po....
IIRC, it was at this place. I’m out the door so didn’t bother reading this particular article but recognize the picture. You might have to search for the payment for the meal. Sorry, I was wrong in that only 2 of the people at the table were military.
“I’m on the million dollar bill. Got these printed last week. Here, look at these!”
