GWOP staff has compiled a list of America’s most miserable cities to live, in the United States.

Our Misery Measure takes into account unemployment, taxes (both sales and income), commute times, violent crime and how good the cities pro sports teams have been over the past few years. We also factored in weather and pollution. Lastly we considered corruption based on convictions of public officials in each area as tracked by the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. Any area with a population larger than 240,000 was eligible.

Cleveland takes the top spot in America’s Most Miserable Cities to live in list. Cleveland secured the position thanks to its high unemployment, high taxes, lousy weather.  Detroit and Flint also made the top  5, with 6 midwest states in the top 10.  Check the Full list after the jump to see if you live in a miserable city.

10. Chicago, Ill.
9. Canton, Ohio
8. Buffalo, N.Y.
7. St. Louis, Mo.
6. Miami, Fla.
5. Flint, Mich.
4. Detroit, Mich.
3. Memphis, Tenn.

Unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show the Bentley Continental Flying Star is one hell of a head turner. The custom fabricated uber-wagon was build by Italian Car maker Touring Superleggera at the request of one very persuasive customer and the end result is simply stunning.  With an exclusive design based on the Bentley GTC Speed coupe, the Flying Star featured at the Geneva Motor show has a 6 liter W12 engine with 610 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Another Flying Star variant can be built based on the Continental GTC coupe with 560 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive enables more advanced traction and new rear compartments allow for foldable rear seats and larger loading space. The Bentley Continental Flying Star will be one of those rare beasties that will gain quite a cult following over the years. Problem is, they’re only making 20 of them per year, so you guys best get your orders in now. Price starts at $800,000.

The Obama’s tax records were made public by the White House Thursday and show that the First Family made $5,505,509 in income in 2009.

Their tax records show their occupations as “U.S. President” and “U.S. First Lady” with earnings that are more than double of the previous year attributed mostly to the sales of The President’s two books “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams From My Father.”

The Obamas earned more than $2 million in 2008 and $4 million in 2007.

The First Family paid more than $1 million in taxes and donated over $300,000 to charities including CARE, an organization that combats world poverty and the United Negro College Fund which received more than $100,000 in donations.

The President also donated all $1.4 million of his Nobel Prize money to charity.
