Obama Dug Summers’ Redistributionist Rap
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/19/2009 6:58:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Check out this little nugget that was buried at the bottom of E.J. Dionne’s WaPo column today about how Pres. Obama assembled his team of economic advisors [emphasis added]:

“Aides say that Obama was drawn to Summers in part because the former Harvard president shares the president-elect’s passion for a more equitable distribution of economic benefits. Obama was impressed during campaign policy discussions that Summers would often pull the conversation away from general talk about economic growth to a concern with the living standards of families with average incomes.”

There’s an irony here . . .

“a more equitable distribution of economic benefits.”

Take from those that have worked and give to those who won’t work.

socialism?

Don't be absurd. Neither the Telepromptee nor his supporters are socialists. Just ask 'em.

Larry Sommers was President of Harvard..nuff said. He was unseated by a cabal of dyke’s who weren’t impressed by his comments on the lack of women in the sciences...so women’s studies took the place over.
Every morning I get up and read the news and pray for this nightmare to be over, but it isn’t.
Deliver us from evil.

That was my point.

Notice how sensitive (thin skinned) he is on the topic.

HE CALLED THE REPORTER _BACK_ in order to confront him on the question. That’s not presidential.

And I’ve noticed, also, that your average rank and file DemocRat is also VERY sensitive about the label.

Hussein didn’t get upset because a reporter asked if he was a socialist. He was mad because the dumb scribbler let the rest of the nation in on it!
