Redistribution of wealth comment from 2001

[LESTERUS]

Like you said "obama migth be a good president" but there is an old spanish saying my mother used to tell me all the time" "tell me who you hang around with and i'll tell you who you are" , obama is been somehow associated with so much sh**t that he already looks like a toilet !!!!!.

If he wins, he'll get a majority run senate, filibuster proof, a majority run congress, filibuster proof, where is the "check and balance"? This is like giving a loaded gun to my twelve year old son, i trust his judgement, but i would not give him a gun.

I agree with you Lesterus, and I grew up with my mother telling me the same thing about "tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are" only in Italian.

He has just been associated with to many bad people. The kind I would not want to think of the President of the United States to be playin' around of golf with.

Looks like Obama is still in the lead but that gap does appear to be closing, could be close.

I personally feel their are alot of people that are not going to pull the lever for Obama once they get into that booth.

Besides all of of his bad associations, he wants to move America to a Marxist style regime. You can look up almost anything Carl Marx said, and it almost sounds verbatum what comes out of Obama's mouth. Socialism has NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER worked!!!! EVER!!!!!!!! Like you guys said, name me JUST ONE COUNTRY that has prospered and survived that has run on a socialist system. Name just one, and I will not write one more thing on this entire board regarding Obama! I promise.

I didn't forget CHAVEZ, just didn't want to pour more salt in the wound(although I should've). I grew up with the cracker saying "Sleep with dogs, and you'll wake up with fleas". Pretty simple to me, you hang with em, eventually you will be them. Besides how bright can he be if it took him 20 years to realize his pastor is a RACIST SPEWING POS!

Here***8217;s a creative approach to ***8220;redistribution of wealth***8221; as offered in a newspaper.


Today on my way to lunch, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read: "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed. Inside the restaurant, my server had on an "Obama ***8216;08" tie. Again I laughed as he too had given away his political preference. Just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came, I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama ***8220;redistribution of wealth***8221; concept. He stood there in total disbelief as I explained to him that I was going to ***8220;redistribute***8221; his tip to someone whom I deemed more in need - the homeless guy I***8217;d passed outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10.00 and told him to thank the server inside as I'd decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.


At the end of my rather unscientific ***8220;redistribution***8221; experiment I realized that the homeless guy was grateful for the money he hadn***8217;t earned but the waiter was angry that I***8217;d given away the money he had earned, even though the actual recipient deserved money more.


I guess ***8220;redistribution of wealth***8221; is easier to swallow ***8220;in-concept***8221; than ***8220;in practicality.***8221;
