Obama Sucks Up to the Rich Man

So Obama has it in for the wealthy. Those of us who went beyond the gushing headlines during the campaign last year already knew that. It’s ironic, considering his income jumped from $991,296 in 2006 to $4.2 million in 2007 — but while you can move a man away from the breeding ground of his ideology, you can’t take the ideology out of the man. Plus you have to admit he sure looks snazzy in those expensive tailored suits.

What’s even more ironic is that as Obama continues to offer campaign-like platitudes in an effort to bolster his populist credentials, he’s busy boosting his credentials with the wealthy socialites in Washington.

Rich people are to be reviled, according to Obama’s rhetoric, except when it comes to his bank account and his social life. I think I get it now. That explains the Wednesday cocktail parties, Obama’s penchant for $100 per serving Wagyu steak, and cranking up the taxpayer-funded thermostat in the Oval Office — thus inspiring my newest nickname for him, Tropical Barry. In three delicious flavors: Marxist Berry Red, Eco-Fraud Green, and Kool Menthol.

Democrat leftists don’t have any problem with the REALLY rich - they’re funded by the likes of George Soros after all, and their tax proposals don’t seriously affect the way he makes his money. The “wealthy” targeted by Dems are in fact high earners, whether as individuals or small businesses, who are to be punished for their industriousness and willingness to undertake risks in hope of rewards. Those traits have to be expunged from the population in order for all of us to become obedient little subjects of the socialist utopia.

Obama and his rich men will not make it into heaven according to the Gospel

Gospel
Lk 16:19-31

Jesus said to the Pharisees:
"There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen
and dined sumptuously each day.
And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps
that fell from the rich man's table.
Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.
When the poor man died,
he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried,
and from the netherworld, where he was in torment,
he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off
and Lazarus at his side.
And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me.
Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,
for I am suffering torment in these flames.'
Abraham replied, 'My child,
remember that you received what was good during your lifetime
while Lazarus likewise received what was bad;
but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established
to prevent anyone from crossing
who might wish to go from our side to yours
or from your side to ours.'
He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him
to my father's house,
for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them,
lest they too come to this place of torment.'
But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets.
Let them listen to them.'
He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham,
but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
Then Abraham said,
'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded
if someone should rise from the dead.'"
