    1. Only Canzano harps on Allen selling. Are you Canzano?

    2. Obama isn't worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He would just be a figurehead for a wealthy group.

    1. I didn't think so, but I can't deny the logic of your argument so I may have to change my name.

    2. That's why I said partial ownership. Maybe PA is looking for a nice figurehead.

    If Paul is looking to sell I'd be in the market to buy, as long as he was willing to carry the paper. 50k down should be able to get something going, right? Anyone have McGowan's number?

    Paul Allen should give 5% of the team to Obama for free. Hanging around with Obama's rich friends would be fun, whether or not it recouped Allen the 5% in new business.

    Also, new assets would become available. A drone could be dispatched on the Oregonian building.

    As a former president he would be able to pardon any bad contracts.

    Yet. Give him five years and he'll easily be worth that. The Presidency is now a pathetic money machine.
