Obama makes more money than you

Senator Barack Obama earned more income in 2007 than 99.4% of the United States population. If Barack were a country, his income would put him at 180th for GDP!

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama reported $4.2 million in income in 2007.

The presidential candidate released his tax returns on Wednesday. He said his adjusted gross income was around $4.2 million, with $4 million coming from the profits on his two books - “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” His Senate salary is $260,735.

Obama paid federal taxes of $1.4 million. Charitable contributions were $240,370.

The campaign released the returns just hours before a candidate debate.

OMG he is practically a pauper compared with the Clintons earnings over the last 8 years of close to $109 million.
