This statement is self-evidently false. I take it you don't mean it literally, but it's that kind of hyperbole that ruins our political discourse. The point of your post was to suggest that Obama is corrupt, if not on the take; specifically that he was able to buy a $2 million house because of it. That is not true and to suggest otherwise is a smear.

Obama's ideas are dangerous. Engage him in that arena.
Res ipsa loquitur. If an airplane crashes, the burden of proof is shifted to the operator to prove that negligence has not occured. Similarly, if one is surrounded by corruption and takes corrupt actions, the burden of proof is on him to prove he is not corrupt (IMO).
