Has Obama Earned Enough Money

Obama thinks that he should be telling people how much money they're allowed to make in the lifetimes (although he would put a cap on trial lawyers or his Hollywood contributors). Well, he made $5 million last year. Isn't that enough?

In a stump speech in Quincy, Illinois, President Obama suggested that “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” Video here.

Obama made almost $5.5 million last year, most of which came from book royalties according to his tax return.

This comes on top of the other millions of dollars Obama received in previous years. The fact that Obama has been in the public spotlight as a politician has undoubtedly had an impact on the royalties of his two books as well. Go ahead and compare Obama’s 2009 income with other presidents here.
