Starry-eyed ABC reporter Elisabeth Leamy had a chance to interview President Obama and actually asked him, “What are you and the First Lady teaching your daughters about money?”
The President is terribly pressed for time what with all the TV interviews and magazine cover photo sessions and golf games and vacations and laser-like focus on the economy and equally laser-like focus on the gulf oil spill, so he didn’t have time to fully answer Leamy’s question. If he had, we’re pretty sure that these are the important life lessons he’s teaching Sasha and Malia:
1. The more ice cream you eat, the less chance there is for poor children to become obese.
2. There’s no shame in being on welfare. That’s how Daddy buys votes.
3. Ask your mother. She makes all the policy decisions.
4. When I was your age, I had to walk to the madrassa uphill. In both directions.
5. Money doesn’t grow on trees. It’s taken from the hardworking American taxpayer or printed by the Federal Reserve to be misappropriated for failing social programs.
6. One day this will all be yours. The deficit, I mean.
7. If you run out of money, just print more.
8. “The love of money is the root of all crakka killings!” I learned that in church.
9. When I said, “At some point you’ve made enough money,” I was
talking about corporations, not public servants.
10. If you stay in school and study hard, you’ll never have to get a
real job.
11. Sometimes you have to spend what you don’t have to get out of debt.
12. It’s not really stealing if you call it a tax.
13. Big corporations make EVIL money. Big Hollywood stars make HONEST money.
14. A fool and his money are soon parted, which is why your Uncle Joe Biden couldn’t afford pay for his frozen custard in Milwaukee and had to call the manager a smartass instead.
15. A penny saved is a damn fine excuse to come up with another tax.
16. Spend as much as you want. Someone else will pay for it.
17. Money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy an election!
18. Save up your money for bullet-proof burkas.
19. As soon as daddy’s done screwing up the USA, you’ll both get ponies!
20. Once everyone is poor, we’ll all be equals!
21. Watch daddy apply the trickle-up poverty principle!
22. Get a job at the USDA – great pay, outstanding benefits, you can be racist AND never get fired!
23. Money is not the root of all evil, capitalism is.
24. You won’t have to pay taxes if you’re the one writing the tax laws.
25. Spread the wealth, but only other people’s wealth.

Hilarious! Downright hilarious! The best humor always contains a bit of truth!
Oh, and the caption is wicked ass funny!
LMAO!
I love #15..."A penny saved is a damn fine excuse to come up with another tax."
That's the Libs MO..."How DARE you succeed, make money and have the audacity to SAVE it while others are doing without!"
This guy is such a crock!!! Maybe those girls will get lucky and read something other than Saul Alinsky!!!
Who is he kidding, those girls won't know what real work is.
And they probably never will.
What a crock of shit. I'd love to see the President's daughters get a job babysitting. How big would the Secret Service detail be?
All you guys point ur fingers and comments at him when every president that get a sit in the white house does the same thing..so shut the fuck up and do ur homework this country been fucked up since day one starting wit a white man Andrew Jackson...and yall hate black ppl...smh
With your abundant knowledge of America's history and profound ability to make clear your ideas, perhaps you could enlighten all of the racists here that hate black ppl. May I suggest you start with KimmyQueen. it might be a learning experience for you and all us finger pointing haters.
Speaking of finger pointing, which moron gave you a thumb up? That's completely unacceptable.
LOL it was hilarious. I was thinking that the parents will drop the kids at the WH for the girls to watch them while they go out. Either way it is ridiculous statement.
Ray, it would be bigger than a senior prom...hell, it would probably resemble one, with their propensity to go all out on everything they do.
What I'd like to see the girls doing, is recycling all those cans and bottles from the Wednesday Night Benders at the White House. It would take them until the next Wednesday to haul it all to the recycling center! Just think, they could inspire millions of lazy kids to get off their ass and dumpster dive for bottles 'n cans for $$$ like I did back in the day.
