Can He Be President Instead?

During the financial crisis of the past months, Warren Buffett has somehow managed to increase his net worth by $8B.

This officially makes him the richest American, after playing second fiddle to Bill Gates for 15 years. Gates lost $1.5B this month.

WTF was Buffett investing in? How does he know these things? I think Warren Buffett owns a time machine.

We should elect him!

  • Buffett was a strong advocate for the huge government bailout, because he would have went broke if it didn’t pass. Now he’s sitting on an extra 8B that came from tax payers. We should elect him president for taking our money?

  • They look so cute. It makes me less mad about my Dell taking a shit those years ago. Love the humanitarian efforts by Bill Gates. Love Warren B’s grandpa sweater. It’s like the one I make my bf wear from time to time.

  • these people never lose money
    they either do not earn it as they normally would
    or they don’t sell, expecting a better business opportunity

  • Yeah, what Jesse said! And then some! I hope he realizes that as the richest man in the U.S. AND A DEMOCRAT that his buddy Obama is gonna be taxin’ his ass huge like… hmmm, maybe that’s why he made the recent money to help offset those future taxes on the wealthy 5%’ers of this country…. some day we will all learn that he was probably a HUGE ASS part of the problem… guys like him drive shit up like crazy… Can anyone say George Soros?

  • > I agree.

    keightlynn, don’t make me call you the “C” word again. Your stupidity astounds me.

  • I believe Buffet warned against some of the problems we’re facing now. His investment style is to never invest in something he doesn’t understand. I also believe he is one of the rich who advocates higher taxes for the rich (they’re are actually plenty of them, not a majority but plenty). He has also pledged to give most of his money to charitable causes instead of giving it to relatives who don’t deserve or need it.

  • Yes, let’s elect him for president and than watch him eat our generation alive. Yay for ruthless, unethical gazillionaires!

  • Warren Buffett is probably the most ethical CEO the US has ever had. He buys low, holds and sells at a profit. The irony of it all, he’s not being bailed out and so shocking, he’s not greedy. He gives almost all of it away to the poor and then creates more money by reinvesting what he has left wisely. He thinks stocks are on sale right now. If only all rich people were as ethical as Warren Buffett! Anyone speaking against him is an uninformed ignoramous who needs to learn more before writing/speaking.
