When do I get my Obama gifts? Do we have to wait until X-mas or what? I only ask because my fuckin dishwasher broke and I want to know if I have get a new one or just wait until Obama gets me a new one? It would be nice to have it before Thanksgiving because you know there's gonna be a shit load of plates and pots to wash. So do you have to sign up some place or do they just know? Do I have to write a Santa Obama letter or what? I need some god damned info to make sure I get my fair share.

HA!
It's hilarious that he tried to get away from the 47% comment when it was proving to be hurtful of his chance at President.. now that he can do or say what he wants.. he's gone full 'Trump'.. in his bitterness.. and like Robert Downey jr. says.. "you never go full Trump"
poor guy..
I guess he can always re-file that 14% tax return and take all the deductibles he's allowed and bring his rate down 9% or 10% .. to make up for the loss of the office.

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)

It's funny, because he's proved again and again, he's in the same wheelhouse of scumbag as Trump, but because he's not so IN YOUR FACE about it, he gets some kind of pass...that he shouldn't.
He made money by investing(buying) companies, then harvesting them in various ways (bankrupting them *purposely*, raiding pensions under really crafty loopholes that weren't illegal but still stole and lessened people's retirements under the multifaceted *restructuring* facade, once *in charge* getting said company to take out a 1.25 BILLION dollar loan like they did with Dunkin Brands Inc. and then pay themselves a 500 MILLION dollar *tribute payment* or as they term it *dividend*, off shoring more jobs than you can shake a stick at). Was that the ONLY way they made money? No. Sometimes the pay off was just as good by actually letting the company grow and earning their dividends that way because the company was prospering. This, however, wasn't a dynamic or mission statement of ethics laden intent. There was no, "We'll ALWAYS try it this way first, because we carreeeee." It was first and foremost, "which ever way the profit wind is blow'in, we're goin...sorry 'bout your luck if it happens to be a tsunami of fuck for you..dems da brakes."
Ripping off the cyclical nature of our economy by keeping his money out of the system...not only for tax purposes, but out of U.S. banks that in turn make loans to new aspiring entrepreneurs...what a patriot.
He's just a scumbag with a pretty exterior who ultimately didn't give a shit HOW he made his cash. You invest in a PE deal to make money not to grow businesses. And not to create jobs. Whether he helped people (businesses) or hurt them...same difference. Money's money. How you get to it doesn't matter...the end goal is the same...profit baby!
