Wow! fantastic news.

[Zogtastic]

Good. He clearly doesn't have a problem paying more taxes. He SHOULDN'T have a problem paying more taxes. He doesn't need McCain to save him money, he's set for life!

Okay all of you "drinking the Kool-AId guys"; your theory continues to fall apart every day. It's the thinking people of the world who are supporting Obama, so get on board.

Great quote from Buffett/summation of Bush:

"They say in the stock market ... buy stock in a business that's so good that an idiot can run it because sooner or later one will," he added.

"Well, the United States is a little like that. We can take a little mis-management from time to time," Buffett said.

Well there u have it folks and he endorsed Obama even though he knows he's gonna have to pay some tax's

He and Obama are friends, talk all the time, play cards together. Barack often mentions in his town halls the fact that Buffet told him personally that he feels it to be a disgrace that he pays less tax, percentage wise, than his secretary, and believes he should pay more, would happily pay more He also believes in raising the cap on Soc. Sec., above the current 97,000.00 (appx.) ceiling.

lt me take the violin out of it's case and play.............

And I loved this man. To find out he is an Obama worshipper makes my grief unbearable. Oh well, you gain some and you lose some.Good writtens Buffett. First your secretary beat me to the altar, and now to find out you are a socialist from the gett.....go......

This is good. He doesn't even have to mention McCain to make the comparison very evident.
