Are you just making these figures up off of the top of your head? You should really provide some source for your statistics.
Like this one:
Quote:
Let's start with the big picture: net worth. According to Obama's most recent public financial statements, he and his wife, Michelle, were worth between $500,000 and $2 million at the end of 2005 (excluding whatever equity they have in their $1.65 million Chicago house). The bulk of this wealth came from $1.2 million in royalties Obama received that year for The Audacity of Hope and a previously published book (part of a $1.9 million, three-book deal). The $1.2 million figure is presumably pretax, which means that, after paying the IRS, Obama probably kept about $600,000.

Maybe you
did in fact read somewhere that Barack Obama is worth $7 million, and didn't just grab a random figure off of the top of your head, and assume that no one would question that number. However, please provide some documentation next time so that we don't question your credibility.
