"...$12,000 a year would be paid “to the lady termed the first lady in the land;"

Sheesh, that was a LOT of money in 1917.

“...WTH is still buying that pap?”

Probably the same people who buy Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ and Karl Marx’s books.

How did they file a tax return without Social Security Numbers? Did they forget to include the page of his many SSNs?

SSNs are whited-out in every presidential tax return I’ve seen.

Maybe in the future we should get the IRS to require a birth certificate be included with tax returns.

In Florida now they require a birth certificate to "re-up" your drivers license... Big brother is alive and well in the Sunshine State...

That’s the first thing I noticed too — no-one around seems to even NOTICE he was about to hit the pavement??? Not even his secret service agents? Wouldn’t they see that and basically tackle him in case there was someone in the area with a silenced weapon or something? I mean like worried that he had gotten hit by something?

I had to show a physical social security card to simply renew my driver’s license. That they already had the number on file was not enough (Texas requires it to “prove” you aren’t a dead beat dad even if never married with no kids).

I had to go down and physically show them the card. Disgusting that citizens must go through such a time consuming ordeal and yet the President is above proving his elligibility with proper paperwork.

Glad you liked it..lol. As far as the SS agents and Obama tripping..my guess it that they were in a very secure place with perimeter cover,etc. They weren’t worried about him at that location. ??

Exactly! And if he really thinks we need to redistribute wealth, then he and his wealthy liberal friends can voluntarily donate the rest of their income to the Federal government to pay for his redistribution programs.

Nah, paying taxes is only for us lowly serfs. Sorry, but we need to get back to work now to support some more non-taxpaying leeches! If you don't work harder how are they going to keep getting their checks while they sit at home? Show some compassion, lol.
