The Obama's almost didn't run for presidency because they couldn't afford it

I told him that he had to quit smoking because he was still toying with smoking. He was in it and not in it. Um, and we had to have enough of a nest egg so that, you know, we could, we wouldn't be just financially broke at the end of it. And, you know, I thought that that was going to cut it, right? Because we weren't in really, we were just starting to make moves covering that we lost making our purposeful. So I kind of thought that deal breaker. But then he chosen to speech at the national convention and he just blew up. And as a result of that, I'm getting order, dreams for my father on the list. Audacity of Hope, you know, this income that was generated from his book sales. And he kind of looked at me like, I think we're okay. And I'm like, Oh, darn. So I didn't know enough to ask for to ask for flying blind.
