Who has really prospered in the Bush economy?

LA Times:

Barack Obama's wealth has more than doubled during his presidential campaign -- and has shot up tenfold since he entered the U.S. Senate three years ago, his financial disclosure filed Friday shows.

Obama is the least wealthy of the three major presidential candidates. But with advances and royalties from two bestselling books, Obama's assets were worth between $2.02 million and $7.35 million at the end of 2007, according to a public financial disclosure report filed with the Federal Election Commission.

At the end of 2006, Obama's holdings were worth $455,000 to $1.125 million. When he entered the U.S. Senate in 2005, he reported assets worth between $200,000 and $400,000.

...
If the economy was as lousy as he and his campaign claim no one could afford to buy his books and make contributions to his campaign in mind boggling numbers. The man must not know anything about economics either. Nearly all of his accumulated wealth has come under the Bush administration. He did not do nearly as well under the Clinton administration. The GOP should have some fun with this this year if they only try.
