The two-faced Obama has accumulated a stunning about of money to spend on his campaign, but lectures average Americans about “spreading the wealth.” He egomaniacly spent several million dollars on a 30 minute infomercial which told us jack shit, but he lectures average Americans about “spreading wealth.”
And woe to you if you disagree.
Obama’s New Attack on Those Who Don’t Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’
On the stump this week, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has pushed back against Sen. John McCain’s description of his tax policies.
“The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich,” Obama said in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday. “I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That’s the America dream, that’s the American way, that’s terrific.
“The point is, though, that — and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class — it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America.
Obama went to Columbia University and Harvard University Law School. (Don’t ask me how he was accepted. He claims he was trashed alot of the time. No, the media did not investigate any of it.) Most assume that Obama’s education must make him intelligent, but if his economic ignorance was mass, he’d produce several black holes by himself. (Yea, I said “black hole.” If you think the term has any racial meaning, please leave my blog now lest you infect it with your retardedness.)
1. Why does Obama think that “making sure that everybody’s got a shot” involve (1) expansion of government and (2) expansion of an already BLOATED welfare state? Has not the free market done this consistently better than anything the government has done, or that a welfare check can do?
2. If “everybody starts spending that money,” the market will adjust to it (i.e., as more people demand more products, so will the price of those products!).
Obama is right about all boats rising. Substitute “prices” for “boats.”
“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
It’s unclear if this was a nod to the Ayn Rand book “The Virtue of Selfishness,” with all that the invocation of Rand implies.
It would seem to be, given the themes of Rand’s work, what happens when independent achievers are demonized.
Which would fit with this description of those who want to keep their hard-earned tax dollars as “selfish.”
Atlas may not be shrugging, but Obama is.

This is how liberals deal with conservatives who dare disagree: character assassination.
Citixen X left this comment at ABC:
A lawyer with 2 years in the senate, a questionable background, no military or business experience and happens to read a teleprompter well is likely going to be the next president. A citizen who asked him a simple question about taxes has gone under more scrutiny from the mainstream media than he has.
You have been warned.
Applause to Jake Tapper for actually risking his career to question or criticize his Obamaness.
