Obama just happened to obtain a $1.32 million mortgage for his mansion even though the payments of $8,000 per month (plus at least $1,500 per month in property taxes) exceeded 50 percent of his $162,100 U.S Senate salary income, and even though Michelle Obama was claiming that she and her husband were still paying off substantial student loans and were struggling to pay for piano lessons for their daughters, one of whom just happens to look remarkably like one of the daughters of Malcolm X.
:rofl:

I love it that he notes that the $8k/month is 50% of Obama's Senate salary, but totally neglects the fact that Obama released his tax returns for that period of time, and had a family income of $1.65m that year (2005), including a $1.2m book signing deal, Michelle's salary of $317k, and her ~$45k income from being on the board at TreeHouse foods.

Just on her salary and his they could've easily afforded the mortgage.

When will crackpots realize that including things that are easily proven wrong only works to negate any worthwhile point that they might be trying to make?

I had a debate about the plane crash into the towers a week ago with a guy, who was adamant that it was an inside job and that a steel building could never succumb to fire, he claimed it would only take 20 people to cover it up, until I proved him wrong, he claimed steel couldn't be structurally compromised at lower temps, until I proved him wrong and provided the evidence, and it all boiled down do him saying over and over, "show me ANY steel building that has ever collapsed due to fire", so I showed him the 13 story steel university building in the Netherlands that collapsed due to fire. That shut him up good.

When they stop being crackpots. People chose to believe what is clearly wrong and will refute clear facts when if it helps to support what they want to be true. Example: pretty much any religion.

:stupid:

It's a difference of researching to prove something is true vs. finding facts to back your twisted ideas.
