Joe Biden's brother gets sweetheart government contract:
Joe Biden’s younger brother James stands to earn millions of dollars in post-war construction in Iraq, thanks to his long experience in the construction industry. No, wait, James Biden doesn’t have much experience in construction. All right, he stands to make millions due to his long experience in investing in South Korean construction firms and doing business in Iraq. No, wait, he doesn’t have any experience in either of those fields, either. How, then, did James Biden work his way into a partnership with a South Korean firm to build 100,000 homes in Iraq, a project that will be financed by the Iraqi government?Barack Obama's brother: living in a slum:
It really helps, as the president of the partnership managing the project involved told investors, to have “the brother of the Vice President as a partner”
The man sitting opposite me looks and sounds nothing like his elder half-brother. He did not arrive with a security detail; no journalists politely raise their hands to ask him questions. This is George Obama.It's not that I think that Obama's brother should get sweet, sweet crony-capitalist payola. It's that Obama keeps talking about how important it is to help the poor, and he doesn't lift a finger to help his own brother. Did he forget, or something? I mean, he makes like a million dollars a year. He'd never miss ten large, and it would change his brother's life.
Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue.

I ask people that all of the time: If you feel strongly enough about helping the poor/homeless/unwed mothers that we need to confiscate other people's money in order to help them, then how much of your own money have you used to help them?
ReplyDeleteDo you invite hungry families into your home for dinner? Do you let the homeless stay in your spare bedroom for a night or two?
If not, then what entitles you to require that I do so?
But maybe BHO knows this guy isnt his brother as BHO know who his real father was?
ReplyDeleteThe POTUS is just a downright Obamanable person.
ReplyDeleteDivemedic's point is a good one! And based on some conversations I've had with some lefties, I'm convinced they consider it OPJ (other people's jobs) since the 'elite' are busy thinking things like this up, and they know it's academic to them...
