Obama's story does not pass muster
“

The IRS filings, covering 2006 and 2007,
bolster the Republican vice-presidential candidate’s frequent
assertions about her family’s membership in the middle class, albeit in
the upper end of the class.
In those two years, Sarah Palin, who was elected Alaska’s governor
in 2006, and her husband, Todd, supported four children on an average
annual income of $147,000 from an eclectic array of far
outside-the-beltway sources ranging from fish sales to government
entitlement checks.

Now compare this to Obama's story.

“

EIGHT
YEARS ago Barack Obama was thoroughly humiliated at the Democratic
Convention in Los Angeles. He had recently lost a congressional primary
in Chicago, and both his political and personal bank accounts were
empty. The rental car company rejected his credit card. He failed to
get hold of a floor pass and ended up watching the proceedings on a big
screen in a car park. He returned home with his tail between his legs
before the week was out.

But wait, there's more. Obama's 2000 tax return
declares a combined income of $240,505. We've all felt the pain f
squeaking by on a quarter-mil a year, right? And not being able
to rent a car from Budget, right? But Obama is magical. Consider.
Seven years prior, with a subsistence income, the Obama's "bought a condominium in Hyde Park for $277,500, paying about $111,000 as a down payment, according to county real estate records."
Yup plunked down $111,000 cash in 1993, and couldn't rent a car in 2000.
Which one of these two would you buy a car from?
