Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wants you -- to redistribute your wealth.

In Obamas highly publicized encounter with Joseph Wurzelbacher -- aka Joe the Plumber -- the candidate said he wanted to use taxpayers money to spread the wealth. A gutsy local Orlando television anchor interviewed Democratic vice presidential contender Joe Biden:

Anchor: You may recognize this famous quote: From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. Thats from Karl Marx. How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?

Biden: Are you joking? Is this a joke?

Anchor: No.

Biden: Or is that a real question?

Anchor: Thats a question.

The none-too-happy Biden denied that Obama wants to spread the wealth -- even though Obama used that exact term. When later given a chance on Good Morning America to retract, refute or moderate the statement he made to Joe the Plumber, Obama stood his ground.

Co-host: Any regrets that you ... said spread the wealth?

Obama: Not at all. Look, if John McCains best argument is that he wants to continue the same Bush tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans it will prevent the economy from recovering.

Now comes a 2001 Chicago radio interview with then Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama. If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, said Obama, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth It didnt break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution.

Larry- you always tell the truth
Larry,
You tell it like it is and these liberal idiots don’t like it. They can’t understand why you of all people can question “The One” all you did hear is told the truth about what was said and if any of these idiots had watched Fox news they would have seen the evidence. But as we all know they are the kool-aid Obama drinkers from his campaign who tries to start trouble and don’t want to know the truth about their candidate. It doesn’t matter he has studied a black liberation theology that means - haters of America, hater of whites, and with the understanding of James Cone- Jesus was born Palestinian and not born a Jew. Once you can understand that, you can understand redistribution of wealth, marxism, and his relationships. Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, Farrakahan, Purssey Sutton, Kalal al Masure, black panther party. For twenty years Obama was taught this bigoted religion and sat there, now how dumb are they? Dumb idiot liberal elites’ democrats who hate America and want’s Obama to destroy it and will try to elect him president to do it.
