I didn't think it was deceptive at all; considering I was comparing it with the combined income of Obama and his wife going back to 2000.

You on the other hand had thought it was only necessary to talk about Bill's background.

The majority indeed was made by Bill. But over $11.5 million was made by Hillary according to her website.

Hopefully you will join that club in later life and not feel so envious of these two prime examples of the American Dream.
LOL; I'm already aware of your envy and love affair with Hillary, though seeing as I can hardly share exactly the same ethic or philosophy as you, such a description can hardly apply to me. Though you should know what 'assuming' does.

You inferred the Clintons made $107m in 2007

You on the other hand had thought it was only necessary to talk about Bill's background.

He made most of their money

The majority indeed was made by Bill. But over $11.5 million was made by Hillary according to her website.

Not bad, but less than 11% of their combined total income over the 7 years

Apparently my assumptions were correct!

He'll quickly become out of "touch" with the average American as his wealth and influence grows, hence, being elected president. After all, "average Americans" do nothing for anybodys' bottom line whilst rising to the higher echelons of society. Poor people are a nuisance no matter who you are.

As of 2 weeks ago Bush didn't know that a gallon of petrol was approaching $4.

But it must be several years since he pulled up at a gas station swiped his card and started pumping.
