Thats it? You would think a guy like him would buy at least a $3mil+ house.

Nobody has to worry about him having a declining income. I take it that he didn't call you.

That guy is one hell of a salesman and I strongly doubt he clears less than $3 mil per year.

$3M when his secretary lives in a 2 bedroom apartment? How does he sleep at night? There is an "Axelrod Rule" waiting to be made.

What does he sell - do you know?

 

[Flint]

Whatever he sells, I am not buying.

 

[Zob Ahan]

What does he sell - do you know?

Yes. He sells something that wipes the floor with Republicans.

You too have fallen victim to the news propaganda(or self-delusion) that Obama is a shoo in. Behind closed doors, Obama is taking Axelrod to the woodshed after showing him the latest Gallup poll showing him losing, that's right, losing, to Romney. And after 4 years in office, I assure you the undecideds won't break for Obama.

How pedestran of you ZA.......
I truely thought you had a clue about the guy's background...........but just FYI - you have no idea how ridiculous "salesmanship" as a virtue or talent, etc....sounds to a technocrat like me!!!

Dear Flint - I don't know if you ever got around to read the book or see the movie "Atlas Shrugged" - but in it, Rand clearly describes how the main stream tries to fool the population with the so called POLLS. Every day the bastards are releasing a new poll on how Obama is ahead - as if this population has lost it's mind.......loool - very similar to IR tactics.

Well capitalism that you often claim to like so much disagrees with you otherwise salespeople wouldn't make so much money in this country. Ever heard of "nothing happens until someone sells something"?

Capitalism is the best thing humans have going so far....because it preserves freedom and does not overlook individualism. It is however nowhere near PERFECT.

Oh I see so you dislike capitalism where it seems unfair to you.

This kind of threads are funnier than "Just Came In" thread. Keep it on folks.

It is the ignorant mentality to be such extremist to believe that the democrats who have many in the 1% are against free market or having wealth. Trying to weaken the power of a small group, 0.1% that controls the government through lobbying that makes laws that favors themselves is a mind of western democracy unlike that of a third world. A government by the people is one that represents the population of a country and not the 0.1 to 1%.

Now go grab your signs and stand next to the fat tea racist uneducated tea party people and scream communism.

You are not talking about Jeff Immelt, GE's CEO , who paid zero taxes and Obama appoints him as one of his truster advisors, are you? And if you say oh Obama is just as bad then why are you barking at the tea party? At least admit to who you are. You are an Obama hack.
