Barack And Michelle Obama Are Rich As The Dickens

by Jim Newell  2:09 pm April 15, 2010

Barack and Michelle Obama have posted their 2009 tax return online, just to brag about how they live at “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” where they count their $5,505,409 in adjusted gross income all day long, cackling.

Most of that money comes from the sale of Obama’s books, Rules for Radicals and Rules for Radicals II: Return of the Terrible Robots.The Bidens also posted their return, and they are very poor, earning a mere $333,182. We must shun them until they start loving America and get off welfare.

Hey, what does that “H” after Barack and before Osama I mean NObama stand for? Is he hiding some kind of awful Islamic fundamentalist name in there? I hope no conservatives read his tax forms and find out.

Gorillionaire April 15, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Sarah Palin spends that much on eyebrow waxing. A month.

Norbert April 15, 2010 at 2:13 pm

finally a birth certificate. was that so hard?

Hart88 April 15, 2010 at 2:13 pm

a-HA!!! By siging this tax return, Obama has committed a federal offense: Kenyans don’t pay US income tax!!

/Orly

Johnny Zhivago April 15, 2010 at 2:14 pm

It’s no substitute for his birth certificate!!!

norbizness April 15, 2010 at 2:15 pm

As if this isn’t going to feed into about half of the total resentment felt by your average Teabagger, which isn’t unlike the drunken, broke-ass white sharecropper who poisons the black family’s mule so that they’re not doing better than him.

jus_wonderin April 15, 2010 at 2:16 pm

Oh lordy, another reason for the Teabaggers to hate them. They are financially secure and successful.

Extemporanus April 15, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Today, we are all “Daughter X”.

FIGHT THE POWER!

Sussemilch April 15, 2010 at 2:18 pm

Like the Dickens all right. Nicholas Nicklepincher is obviously enjoying the best of times during the worst of times.

JMP April 15, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Wait; the Obamas said they had two daughters named Sasha and Malia, but according to this tax return they are Malia and NATasha. If they’ve lied about their childrens’ names what else are they lying about?

Boozeweek April 15, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Where are the social security numbers, HEHNGH!?

TheCoolestGuyInTown April 15, 2010 at 2:22 pm

So Sarah Palin is making about 4x what the Obamas are making?!?!

For the uninitiated, the “L” for Michelle stands for “Whitey.”

Natasha? Sounds Socialist!

J.Robert Oppenheiner April 15, 2010 at 2:23 pm

I thot illegals didn’t pay income tax

Mr Blifil April 15, 2010 at 2:24 pm

He still could have made more had he pursued his rightful calling in prØn…

Johnny Zhivago April 15, 2010 at 2:24 pm

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue… Like THAT’s a real address.

nappyduggs April 15, 2010 at 2:27 pm

[re=557310]Gorillionaire[/re]:

Amongst other, more disgusting landscaping procedures.

Also, this must qualify Obamar for a dandy of a refund anticipation loan, which he is sure to apply for, because of his blackness.

ph7 April 15, 2010 at 2:27 pm

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, showing they paid $71,147 in taxes on adjusted gross income of $333,182.

No wonder he takes the train.

bureaucrap April 15, 2010 at 2:28 pm

They forgot to put their apartment number. 1600 PA NW is a big building, lots of tenants. If they’re lucky, they live in one of the south-facing apartments, away from the street noise and with a nice view of a lawn.

freakishlystrong April 15, 2010 at 2:29 pm

I can’t wait for Rules for Radicals III-You ALL my bitches now, Honkeez..

SmutBoffin April 15, 2010 at 2:30 pm

So lemme get this straight, there are tax benefits to have these…small humans (“children”?) living in your household?

No one tell the teabaggers, or they’ll just start cold procreatin’ in the reflecting pool.

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 15, 2010 at 2:30 pm

So, the greatest victim of Barack Obama’s Socialism is….

Barack Obama.

It is like a Twilight Zone episode come to life.

What a twist!

JadedDIssonance April 15, 2010 at 2:31 pm

The President donated about as much as what Joe earned for the year (not counting Nobel Prize Moneys). And paying a mil+ in taxes? That has to suck.

[re=557349]bureaucrap[/re]: You know what you call living in government-owned housing? Scholiasm, that’s what!

BaconTime April 15, 2010 at 2:36 pm

FINALLY the Obamas will earn some respect from the up-by-the-bootstraps teabagger community. This combined with the tax cuts and they should be in the bag –wait Obama is the black guy? Oh yeah forget it he’s screwed.

Lionel Hutz Esq. April 15, 2010 at 2:39 pm

[re=557320]Extemporanus[/re]: Congratulations, you have just won the afternoon.

[re=557335]ph7[/re]: Not as bad as the religious contribution for “Pure White Jihadist Robes.”

magic titty April 15, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Sarah palin *earned* more than twice as much as them. So uhh, yeah.

[re=557366]BaconTime[/re]: Also, he earned most of the money by writing books, something that only commies and elitists would do

El Kabong April 15, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Michelle’s Occupation is “US First Lady”. It should be Owner, Mad Guns, Inc.

Why not POTUS as the abbreviation for Barack instead of “US President”? Does Palin list former gov/almost VP on her taxes? also.

El Kabong April 15, 2010 at 2:49 pm

they invested in a US Treasury Bill in December – then sold it on inauguration day, losing $53. What up with that?

JMP April 15, 2010 at 2:50 pm

[re=557320]Extemporanus[/re]: See, he really does hate white people.

Katamaran April 15, 2010 at 2:54 pm

Wait, what is the full middle name of this person called “Natasha?” Could it be Mombossa? This proves Obama is a scary black Muslim athiest gay guy who want to nail all the white virgins!

Lascauxcaveman April 15, 2010 at 2:57 pm

[re=557352]SmutBoffin[/re]: There is a financial break for having kids in the house, but the Obamas make waaaaaay too much to qualify for it. My wife and I are in the sweet spot between poverty and affluence where we get the whole $2K credit, and as a result, usually about a $1k refunded at the end of the year.

However, I’m pretty sure we spend more than that on food, clothes, private school tuition, orthodonture, piano/voice/ballet lessons for them; so the little nippers have not turned out to be a very good short-term investment.

We’ll see if they grow up rich enough to care care of their folks when we get old.

WHERE IS THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE LONG FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE LONG FORM TAX FORM!!!!!

Aurelio April 15, 2010 at 3:17 pm

$5,505,409 in adjusted gross income? That’s more than the entire gross domestic product of Kenya. Barry’s relatives back home must be proud.

Baldar T Flagass April 15, 2010 at 3:19 pm

[re=557312]Hart88[/re]: And he would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for them goddam meddling kids!

Sparky McGruff April 15, 2010 at 3:23 pm

[re=557311]Norbert[/re]: It’s not the long-ferm birf certifuhcate. The long-ferm one has the coupons for Jiffy Lube at the bottom, and the connect-the-dots puzzle on the back. Or maybe that’s the placemats at the Denny’s. I get the two confused, for obvious reasons.

ManchuCandidate April 15, 2010 at 3:25 pm

Strange, a rich guy trying to help poors while a bunch of (mostly) dumb retarded poors fighting him to help the rich.

Yes, US America’s back baby!

GOPCrusher April 15, 2010 at 3:26 pm

I thought his real name is Barry Soetoro. Who is this Barack H. Obama person?

June Cleaver 2.0 April 15, 2010 at 3:38 pm

You know Orly Taitz has all of Barack Obama’s social security numbers, so there’s no reason not to use a set.

bored with gravity April 15, 2010 at 3:44 pm

Oh, people’s heads are just asploding over here in the Houston Chronicle comments. “Real estate investments with Rezko paying off”, “with a little help from George Soros”, “why didn’t he give to the United White Colege Fund.” I do love how teabaggers and conservatards think George Soros is personally supporting every single liberal in America — ‘casue I haven’t gotten a check from him in months.

Mazement April 15, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Where are the Socialist Security Numbers?!?! There’s supposed to be two in the upper left hand corner, and two more in the middle column with the kids’ names!!!!

Also, he gamed the system by checking the boxes for the Presidential Election Campaign fund. That $6 will go right back into his pocket when he runs for President in 2012. I guess it’s technically legal, but it seems awfully slimy.

Woodwards Friend April 15, 2010 at 3:52 pm

He only earned that money so he could pay taxes on it. Because he hates freedom.

BlueStateLiberal April 15, 2010 at 3:54 pm

Where is the exemption for Bo?!? I thought it was OK to claim your pets as dependents, like I’ve been doing for the last 20 years.

Jim89048 April 15, 2010 at 4:04 pm

Wait–did he try to take the renter’s credit?

Lascauxcaveman April 15, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Heh. That’s the first thing I though of too, since I haven’t checked that box since Ronald Reagan reared his ugly head. But then I remembered: Barry turned down those gummint fund dollars because of the hundreds of kazillions of dollars guys like me threw at him, everyday, on the internet, in 2008.

That $3 check box goes to impoverished losers like John McCain.

Unlike the previous resident Obama actually earned his money.

The Toot April 15, 2010 at 6:12 pm

Dick Cheney snickers an evil snicker at those poors who only earn $5 million.

Snark aside, them Bidens gotta step up their charity giving.

sezme April 15, 2010 at 6:20 pm

He forgot to type the R in Obamar. Kenyans!

Jukesgrrl April 15, 2010 at 6:55 pm

$5 million? Meh. Grifters in Wasilla make that before breakfast … collecting bendy straws and and healthcare intended for Native Americans.

[re=557336]Gregoire[/re]: Re: Natasha. My dad would have said, “What is she? One of those Russkies?”

loquaciousmusic April 15, 2010 at 7:04 pm

Check out the list of organizations that got to split his Nobel Peace Prize money (it’s buried in the .pdf). One of them is the American Indian College Fund, a favorite charity of mine. Of course, his gift of $125,000 dwarfs my gift of $50, but still…!

Very cool, Barry. Very cool.

Sparky McGruff April 15, 2010 at 7:17 pm

[re=557498]BlueStateLiberal[/re]: Houseplants, too. Or so I’ve been told.

LowerdPeninsula April 16, 2010 at 3:04 am

Natasha (Sasha Fierce, Jr.) is a Commie-Soviet name, nyiet?

AxmxZ April 16, 2010 at 10:33 am

[re=557822]LowerdPeninsula[/re]: It is! My mom’s named Natasha. It gets worse – in Russian, “Sasha” is short for “Alexandra” (or “Alexander”). That’s TWO Russkie names in one little girl!
