Via News Alert and Breitbart TV, consider this Share the Wealth 2010. Barack Obama went off the TelePrompter in his speech to a Quincy, Illinois audience about Wall Street reform. After saying that Democrats don’t begrudge success that’s “fairly earned,” Obama then ad-libs — and reveals more about himself than he probably wanted:

I do think at a certain point you've told enough lies.

Does that apply to Obama?

He made OVER million dollars during 2009?

Oh, silly me!

I forgot, he’s ABOVE U.S..

Read Animal Farm to understand WHY.

Well, 0bama, what is the magic number? Didn’t you and your wife make around $5 million last year? Isn’t $2 million enough? Why don’t you give the balance to the Treasury as a show of good faith.

“He should have stuck with the TelePrompter. The President doesn’t get to decide when people have “made enough money.” In fact, as the radio host notes, that’s a statist point of view. Furthermore, the responsibility of an entrepreneur isn’t to “grow our economy,” core or otherwise. It’s to grow his own economy. In a properly regulated capitalist system, the natural tension of self-interests create economic growth through innovation and efficient use of capital and resources.

Put simply, a free people work for themselves, not for the government. Barack Obama seems to have a problem understanding that.”

And, of course, he will decide what that point is. After that, you will have to share a large portion of it as protection money with the Obama mob.

Paging Mr. Marx. Mr. Marx, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Wait, can we still say "white courtesy phone," or is that racist?

“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”

Honestly I feel the same way but I only speak for me and have no desire to tell anyone else how much they should make. In fact if I were president I would push for greater tax deductions for charitable giving as a means of encouraging even more giving.

It really doesn't make sense to strip money from a man like John Huntsman who does enormous good with his billions.

Weird...when this was reported yesterday, I thought to myself “Did he really actually say that?”.

In earnest, I thought it was satire.

With Obama, satire = reality. Sad.

He is just reinforcing his “Redistribution of the wealth” comment to Joe the Plumber.

The people now experiencing buyer’s remorse were all blind to this man’s marxist character which was on full display.

To Obama: “I do think at a certain point you said enough and should just STFU.”

Apparently in attacking Wall Street, Obama wants to cut off our source of funds to pay his ridiculously high and ever-increasing taxe needs.

Just much money is too much when Zero’s desire for more taxes are spiralling out of control?
