Just don't call Barack Obama liberal, okey doke?
Boston Globe ^ | February 26, 2008 | Peter S. Canellos

AUSTIN, Texas - In his radio and TV ads that are blanketing Texas, Barack Obama claims a chief executive can make more money "in 10 minutes" than an ordinary worker makes in a year. Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, enact a national health plan, offer a $4,000-a-year tuition reimbursement in exchange for national service, and have the government intervene to prevent home foreclosures.

But he doesn't want anyone to call him a liberal.

But Obama could pay them to engage in stalinist agitprop for pet leftist causes instead. Much more vote buying potential there. (s/c)

I’ll think about his income limiting solutions when he comes up with a similar income distribution scheme for the hollywood numnuts. We’d see how long those loons would support him.

Same for all the daffy schemes to limit carbon emissions. When high schooler Barbara Streisand and friends all have to live on the same amount of electricity and gasoline as the “normal” folks, I’ll begin to listen to their chattering.

Ah, yes. In other words, anyone making more than $20K/year.

This article is missing the point: Obama’s campaign is built on a vision for the future and new ideas- liberalism is old and its vision is a proven failure. So he can’t be a liberal and still have a new vision for America.

It’s that simple.

National Socialist Service sounds more appropriate.

They used to announce that kind of national service on the radio station from Grenada (for the local residents) in the days of communism.

Then the Army and Marines landed in 1983 and liberated the place.

He’s not a liberal. He’s a socialist!

No, he's a dyed in the wool communist with ties through Odinga in Kenya to islamo-fascism.

He's too far left to be called a "liberal."

I like calling him a "VC" (Virtual Communist).

And Frank Davis, his old mentor in Hawaii, was a Stalinist and proud of it.

Why doesn't Obama's "Happy Talk" scare the heck out of people?

And when did we start paying for "Community Service"...Isn't that called a job?

“And don’t forget dismantling our Military “

About the only thing left out of this little Obama video were people standing around at the end starting a chant of Kumbya my lord, Kumbya....

Hey Barry, if you want to learn from Reagan like you say you do, check out what he did with Gorbachev at Rejkejavic...

That kind of comment (the chief exec making more in ten minutes than the average worker) can’t go unchallenged.

My husband heard that on the radio and we figured that with a median household income of 40k (it was 48k in 2006 so we’re being generous), that means a chief exec makes 40k in ten minutes. Extrapolated, that means, if he ONLY works 40 hrs a week, he makes 240,000 in one hour, 9,600,000 in one week, and 499,200,000 in one year.

Even if we take the average household member salary (which I think is very disingenuous because it includes all household members over 14 and drastically skews things down) of about 26,000, that means the chief exec makes 324,480,000 in one year.

Yet this ridiculousness is allowed to stand.

Why doesn’t he complain that the movie stars make $20 million per movie while the people who pop the popcorn in the theater don’t make that much in a lifetime.

Because those are the people who support him and the leftist candidates.

........Why only pick on evil corporations?

That is one thing the left will never get - capitalism is one of the easiest things to move OUT of the country and into other countries. Who will he tax when the evil corporations move out of America? I still have not heard him offer one bit of evidence either. Remember, it's not the nature of the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charges.
