What should Obama do with the 10 million kronor prize?
   
That's about 1.4 million dollars.

Should he put it away for his kid's college expenses?

...donate it to charity?

If so, which one?

Any other creative suggestions for the cash?

I say take it and shove it up his ass but then again I'm just a bitter, racist, conservative.  :lmao:

1. Donate it to Acorn

That is a wonderful idea that way the DUmmies can no longer yammer that ACORN and Obama aren't connected.  :-)

2. The WH has announced that it will all go to charity...
   
But I don't see why he can't use it for the girls' education.

You act as if that is his money. Shouldn't he pay 90% of it in taxes?

he can spend it however he wishes.

No its not his money do you not listen to your own talking points how that money was stolen from poor people?

Ok, someone with a mole has got to search this yahoos account at DU.  I will almost guarantee this poster had made the claim that it is not 'our money' but is from the hard work and sweat of those working for you therefore you should give it all to the gov't.

Maybe he will quit wiping his ass with the constitution and use dollar bills for awhile.

I think he should donate it to the general tax fund to help support all his policies...

Unfortunately, as you know it would be just a drop in the bucket.

I think he should spend it on booze & hookers. :-)

I know it would be just a drop in the bucket...BUT...it would show he was willing to back up his agenda with his own cash....Why not donate it to the country as a whole instead of a charity like ACORN or Rev. Wrights Church? He would at least be showing a small concern for the crises our country is in (of his and the other democrats making) and making a small ($1.4 Millon) contribution from a liberal stand point should be an obligation...after all it was free cash and he didn't really have to work to earn it.....

Put it in a trust fund so when Iran announces they have a nuke and now are calling the shots in the Middle East it can help us all buy the 10.00/gallon gas that will follow.

If he is economically smart (sorry I just mad myself spit up that bit of beer in my mouth) he keep it in kronor and doesn't change it to dollars.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Strangely enough, since the Government is not itself a 501c(3) charity, I don't think it's deductible if he does that, so he would still have a huge tax liability for money he didn't have anymore.  Therefore, I would love to see him do that!

We can hope that he'll lay off the dollar and start printing kronor instead.

My thought, exactly.  At the current pace, those kronor will be worth 5 times that in dollars by year's end....  :thatsright:
