Obama the liar is at it again:
Romney conceded that a blind trust that manages his money does have investments in China, but countered that he wasn't alone."Mr. President, have you looked at your pension? Have you looked at your pension? Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?" Romney challenged.
In one of the debate's lighter moments, Obama countered, "I don't look at my pension. It's not as big as yours so it doesn't take as long. I don't check it that often."
Given that the president enjoys a normal life span, the pension allotment would be worth upwards of $6 million.The federal budget spends about $3 million annually for the four living ex-presidents. Obama also will get Secret Service protection.
In addition, Obama may be due a nice pension for the eight years he served in the Illinois Legislature as a state senator. Illinois is infamous for its lavish pension plan (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-05-25/news/ct-met-pensions-legislators-20120525_1_pension-system-general-assembly-retirement-system-pension-benefits) for former lawmakers. A Freedom of Information Act request for Obama's pension amount submitted Wednesday to the General Assembly Retirement System of Illinois was not immediately answered, nor was a call to the Obama campaign.
But what about Romney?
His Individual Retirement Account could be worth in the neighborhood of $87 million, as documented in an extensive report from the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romney-exited-bain-capital-with-rare-tax-benefits-in-retirement/2012/09/02/1bddc8de-ec85-11e1-a80b-9f898562d010_story.html).
But as for a strictly public pension? Zip, zero
What a shocker. Another day another Obama lie.
