Is that $20 in your wallet or are you just glad to see me?
Is Sen. Obama one of the dirty rotten greedy rich scoundrels Democrats love to pillory? According a comment made at the Saddleback Church conference, the Left-wing hate heaped on "rich" Republicans should also be directed at the "rich" Obama. Sen. B.O. needs the government to put a gun to his head to get him to open his wallet and give to those less fortunate than he.
It struck me that Obama is must not be as charitable as his sycophants have led us to believe. In
Roger Kimball's write up on the conference I was struck by Sen. Barry's response to this question, “I mean give me a number. Is it $50,000, $100,000, $200,000? Everybody
keeps talking about who we’re going to tax. How can you define that?”
Obama stated that he wanted “a sense of balance, and fairness in our tax code.
It is time for folks
like me who make more than $250,000 to pay our fair share.”
(emphasis added)
This shouldn't really surprise anyone given that Obama didn't really find that charitable spirit until
he was elected to the US Senate.
