How Barack Obama Made His Fortune - DailyFinance

 

I thought this was interesting, especially what he did with his Nobel Prize award.

[Hellcats]

The most shocking $125000 of his Nobel prize money to the Appalachian college fund.

[Jumper_Dad]

Most shocking is that he won that Nobel Prize.

 

Kudos for what he did with the money.

[BlueTip]

That's fantastic what he did with the Nobel prize money.

I wonder if he'd be as hated in Appalachia if that info was widely known.

He was hired 7 years ago to fix the economy, but it still sucks (especially for average folks). Against that, $125K for a college fund doesn't mean much.

I'm guessing yes.

Some peoples views and ideals cannot be bought with money.....

Nice to see him donate money to a great cause like the Veterans.

[Science Friction]

I'm guessing yes.

 

 

You guess right.

I think the President is a solid guy. Politics aside, he just seems like a decent, all-around good guy.

While I believe he's been a below-average President, I'm in agreement with you that he seems like a nice fella. In that regard, I think he & GWB have a lot in common.

Nice to see him donate money to a great cause like the Veterans.

 

And a really good portion, considering the number of organizations to which he donated.

If I win the lottery I'm throwing money around. If I win the Nobel Prize I'm buying a boat !!!:dancingpa

 

The man gave it all away and some to people who outwardly hate him. Thanks RM. This story gave me real respect for this man.
