Uncle Warren sure is busy helping out Barry. First, throwing money at BofA after a little chat with the Vacationer in Chief, now this.

I guess BO only hates billionaires who don’t throw millions into his campaign war chest. Old Warren won’t ever have to worry as long as he keeps paying protection money.
To: mojito
I’m waiting to hear he’s cut a check to the IRS for $xMillion to cover his share of what he feels he owes beyond his filed taxes. I mean, he feels millionaires should be paying more...

They should donate all that money to the US Treasury.
Anyone who can afford to pay $10,000 or more for a dinner with Obama is obviously not paying their fair share in taxes.

Most corrupt administration ever.
Buffett getting real tight with the Kenyan.
Warren plays the game differently than Bernie Madoff, but there seems to be some chance that Warren might end up in the cell next door, one way or another.

Interesting that he supports higher taxes for all AND Obama....no correlation? No of course not....eyes roll.

Most of old Warren’s money is protected, in trusts

His electric car company investment in China isn't doing so well. I think they lost their Chinese government subsidies. Even crony capitalism has risks. Maybe Obama can deliver a section 8 allowance for DQ.

Buffett has sadly become a pathetic sock puppet for BO.

Then he’s a hypocrite for saying the rich should be paying more. Anyone who says this should be willing, and able, to make up-front payments to the IRS in lieu of the tax code being changed to reflect a higher tax rate for the wealthy. If they won’t, or can’t because of how their investments are structured, then they should shut up. Either put their money where their mouth is, or shut up.
And no, I’m not advocating a change to the tax code (unless it’s to lower the tax rates or restructure it to a flat tax). I’m simply responding to these wealthy idiots who won’t follow through on their blabber.

Buffett has gone from being a mere a-hole to a whore.
To: Busywhiskers
Something tells me that Buffett knows that his is in trouble. How? I’m not sure. But perhaps he thinks bankrolling Obama for a second term, if successful, would keep investigators from his door (unless the Repubs take the Senate, which is likely).
Who was it that said any stupid sonofabitch can make money; you just have to work hard at it.

Nah, you have to remember--Buffett bought a railroad(Burlington Northern) to carry mountain states coal to the coast. Now he has to get the obama juice to overcome greenies' opposition to building the port he needs in Oregon to ship the coal to China. Plus, he needs to override the obama vow to rid this country of coal fired energy plants.
It's all legal. But Buffett's got large reasons to be sucking up to obama.
To: mojito
Buffet is a hypocrite. I have no respect for him.
