Obama Calls for More Redistribution of Wealth, Declaring: I Am My Brothers Keeper By Terence P. Jeffrey April 2, 2012
(CNSNews.com) - In a campaign speech in Vermont on Friday, President Barack Obama referenced the biblical story of Cain and Abel in condemning what he called "you're-on-your-own economics" while arguing for a number of policies that involve government transferring wealth from one group of citizens to anotherincluding providing public schools with more money for teachers salaries, freezing the interest rates on government-backed student loans, supporting companies developing biofuels, electric batteries and wind and solar power and funding scientists who are doing research on stem cells and climate change.
I hear politicians talking about values in an election year, Obama said. I hear a lot about that. Let me tell you about values. Hard work, personal responsibility--those are values. But looking out for one another. Thats a value. The idea that were all in this together. I am my brothers keeper. I am my sisters keeper. Thats a value.

Doesn’t Obama’s brother still live in a hut?
The thing is, it's just not in there, not even as an allegory. Charity is covered elsewhere.
I think the reason liberals like the passage so much is that they read it to say that yes, they ARE their brother's keeper.
Zoo animals have keepers, and zoo animals are tightly controlled. Sheep have herders that keep them, and sheep not only get shorn, but slaughtered. This is the kind of thing liberals define as good. And after all, who profits from all this “keeping”? Surprise!! It is the keepers.
Cain murdered Able because of jealousy. When God asked Cain where Able was (he was dead and buried), Cain deflected God's question and mocked God by asking Him, "Am I my brother's keeper?". God, of course, knew where Able was and he also knew Cain murdered him.
0bama, (like Cain) he prefers to distort Cain's question and lie for his own nefarious purposes.
I find this not only disturbing, but chilling. He refers to the world's first murder and murderer to distort again and make his own false, lying case.
Hey Obamao! Your brother George in Kenya would like you to lead by example.
Obama doesn’t give a rats ass about anybody’s brother, unless they can somehow help him or his ideology.
