a rich man's/woman's bankruptcy is not the kind of bankruptcy the average joe experiences. They still have cash reserves. Oh yeah, liberal mythology. You know, some people think there is a special tax credit in the tax law for people beyond a certain income level. That's probably the most naive statement you have ever made. It was before he ran for president. I know. If they'd known he was gonna be subject to Presidential campaign scrutiny they'd never have tried to launder a payoff so transparently. Sorta like the Clinton cattle futures trading profits. It wasn't before he ran for the Senate. Bottomline: it was an above board deal. Trust me, if it had been, your boys would have been making a big stink about it long ago. The Obama's live in a ritzy neighborhood. Not one with tiny lots. You're not very well traveled, are you? Some of the most expensive homes in this country are on tiny lots. Obama's home is not on a tiny lot. Nor are the homes in his neighborhood on tiny lots. Link please. The Chicago Sun-Times sums up the earlier transaction: What the Sun-Times failed to mention is that the home and adjacent property had in previous transactions been sold as one unit. The appearance of course is that Obama, after he purchased the one-sixth portion of the lot, was beginning the first of several transactions to recombine the two parcels--which in essence would make Rita Rezko someone who was really involved in a backhanded loan to Obama who of course in 2005 was a US Senator. LOL. Your pundit doesn't understand real estate and uses the wrong terminalogy.....the one unit was divided into two parcels. At any time it could be sold separately no matter what its previous sales record was. And the lot was so small that Obama bought some of the adjacent lot at above market costs so he would have a yard for his kids to play. The rest of the lot was sold to someone else who is now trying to sell it for 1.6 million. Kenwood, particularly Obama's street, is a nice neighborhood-- and Obama lives on a mansion row. Its on the South Side of Chicago. His part is relatively nice but the SS tends to be very poor. A Republican wouldn't be caught dead in the South Side....Kenwood or otherwise. Meanwhile McCain has 8 houses to Obama's 1. Some elitist!
