    Not if one has the potential ta engage one functional brain cell.

    The ol' "Oracle from Omaha" has positioned his highly paid secretary fer a big propaganda ploy fer the Chicago thug, n' has set up his investment portfolio ta take advantage of crony Capitalism n' toooooo big ta fail, that the ol' incompetent fruit fly practices.

    The rich feller has always been a dim wit Democrat supporter, butt: his folksy investment populism has now embraced the most Liberal n' distructive POTUS in modern history. Not good fer the future of the greatest Country in the history of the world.

    That you attack obama on every little triflle? No

    35000$ on the 150million obama already raised is nothing .

    Buffet cant invest anymore? He should first ask obama what he is going to do so he wont buy into such companies that might be affacted?

    I can't honestly even be mad at guys like Buffett. He plays the media and the public to seem like he is some 'just happened to get rich' guy who would gladly be willing to give up more money, but at the same time he's got no problem making money however he can.

    I can almost respect how well he does it and no one calls him out on it.

    But while libs bash Wall St, attack the rich, demand they be punished for their success - Obama supporters like Buffett not only get a pass but those same libs yawn over the money he makes off Obama's pet projects

    If not for their double standards liberals would have no standards at all

    Now if this was Pres Bush and a rich R was making money off Bush's proposal - all liberal hell would break loose

    Chris Matthews would have to wear a bib to keep his spit off his suite

    If you call millions and 35k "croney capitalism" what do you call billions and millions on republican side? :lol:

    Yes speaking on a fundraiser oh the scandal.

    Or do yuo actuall think people pay 35k to see buffet?

    Compared the cheney (and plenty others) in the bush's age who's company got billion usualy without anyone else competing. And who raised and contributed millions directly.

    Lies as usual. Dick Cheney divested himself of ALL Haliburton holdingd BEFORE G W Bush was elected.

    Pleae name the "other" companies that were lining up to drive fule trucks in Iraq, circa 2003, or are capable of outfitting military bases, as is Halliburton's KBR division.

    Make up some more bullcrap to try to cover for Bufett's duplicity...

    So once again libs show their clasic double standards

    Obama rides in on his White Horse and promises he will change things

    Then when nothing changes and his buddies make money off his programs his supports chat

    "everybody else does it so what is the problem"

    It was clear form day one of the Obama nightmare on PA Ave the left was never going to hold their gut to the same standards they held Pres Bush to

    And if anyone points out the blatant hypocrisy you are taged as a hater and/or racist

    :lol: so funny a couple k and obama is in the pocket, millions from haliburton for bush and billions in direct return contracts is all "bullcrap"

    spin away little spider .

    Actually no, I dont see much wrong with buffet owing stocks, its what he does after all.

    I also dont see lots of problems with the 0.02% he contributed to the campaign so far .

    Its just funny to note I didnt see any threads when bush got millions and doled out billions to his friends . Guess doing nothing wrong being a democrat is enough to egt the scorn but abusing the system as a republican is considered normal.

    and agan the porund Obama supporters goes back to Pres Bush

    It is clear you guys will continue to use Bush as a crutch right up to the time Obama is fired and leaves DC on 1/20/13

    And I know full well the same low standrads you are holding Obama to will quickly soar to the Stratosphere the moment the new Republican President is sworn into office

    Yes I know you want to forget that republican as quickly as possible, but ignoring him isnt going to make his legacy go away.

    Fun to see how hypocrit people are attacking obama for something bush did a factor worse :lol: .

    He would have made 700 million on the deal if he would have exercised Wednesday. I'm sure he was holding out for that extra 135 especially considering he did not exercise his warrants.

    As usual a load of internet Con crap.

    Seems this is perfect timeing for Buffett to raise and give more money for Obama's re-election bid. Dems aren’t trying to hide their blatant corruption any longer since the liberal media will ignore it

    And what are the chances Buffett will voluntarily donate most of the profit to the IRS since he moans how he is undertaxed? I would say none since he has yet to pay taxes that are YEARS overdue

    Why doesn’t Bershire Hathaway pay their back taxes? Instead of fighting the IRS?

    Buffett is the biggest hypocrite of all time. He has spent his entire life paying or avoiding as little but the lieft love him since he supports Obama so he gets a pass each and every time

    So this is corruption, and under what law?

    And how come this was never brought up under bush?

    BS, buffet doesnt own any back taxes learn the difference between a public company and a person.
