In the wake of his unscripted exchange with Joe Wurzelbacher (now known as “Joe-the-plumber”), Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama tried to explain his now infamous “spread-the-wealth” remark.
“Look, $250,000 is a lot of money,” Obama pointed out. “No one really needs to make this much money, least of all a plumber. It just inflames envy and greed. It’s time everyone pulled together for the common good. For this to happen, some will be called upon to make sacrifices so others can have a taste of the good life.”
Obama characterized his views as “simple justice.” “A father wouldn’t cut unequal shares of pie for each of his children,” he said. “So why should the president tolerate an unequal distribution of the nation’s bounty?”
The Illinois senator called production of wealth a “social process requiring the participation of many hands. The government has to make sure that none of these hands takes too much out of the common pot. This is the fundamental change my campaign has promised will reshape America for the future.”
Running mate, Senator Joe Biden (D-Del) echoed Obama’s views stating, “We’re campaigning as friends of the working class. If ‘Joe-the-plumber’ buys the business he’ll have joined the capitalist class—the guys who’re exploiting the working class. He could hardly expect to get a break from an Obama Administration as a member of the exploiting class. After all, they’re the guys we’re going to be spreading the wealth from.”
In related news, during a break at a meeting at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Michelle and Barack ordered lobster hors d’oeuvres, two steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, as an afternoon snack. Barack challenged the contention that the high-priced noshing showed he is a “spendthrift.” “I, personally, didn’t spend one nickel on this,” Obama asserted. “The claim that I am careless with money is just another smear made for political advantage.”
The “Messiah” has just proclaimed anyone making more than 250K must be punished
as hitlery put it, “We’re going to take things from you for the common good”.

Satire, but just barely.
keep talking.
I fear for my children, even though they are adults.
Had me there for a second.
From the words of Michele O
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”
“Look, $250,000 is a lot of money,” Obama pointed out. “No one really needs to make this much money, least of all a plumber. It just inflames envy and greed. It’s time everyone pulled together for the common good. For this to happen, some will be called upon to make sacrifices so others can have a taste of the good life.”
So Obama, I have a suggestion. Why dont you and Michelle donate back everything you make over $250000. And while you are at it, why dont you give up those 30 minute commercials and donate the money to building homes for the homeless, or feeding a whole bunch of people, or give half of what your campaign raised to bail out Wall Street..which would greatly decrease the amount the taxpayers would have to spend.
Oh thats right...thats YOUR money...silly me ..you just want MY money.
me too.
Good one but don’t give them anymore ideas.
Tell that to your friends in Hollywood and Congress, they make obscene amounts of money! Make them donate to the cause, Obama! And what about you? You easily make 10x more than Joe the Plumber!
Hollywood and Congress are going to love to hear that. /snark
The Hollywood Crowd wined and dined BO when the markets fell 900+ points. Remember? He was in SoCal hosting a 2300 dollar per plated dinner, and Babbs gave a 2300 dollar a person concert
...oh wait.
