Republicans point to Obama 'redistribution' video (The true Obama finally being exposed)
washington times ^ | 9/18/2012 | By Susan Crabtree

Posted on 09/18/2012 2:39:36 PM PDT by tobyhill

Seizing on an old clip of Barack Obama saying he believes in wealth "redistribution," Republicans are trying to shift into offense after spending a day struggling to mitigate the political fallout of the release of a secretly recorded video of Mitt Romney disparaging 47 percent of the American public as "victims" who don't pay taxes and depend on government.

In the video clip, Mr. Obama, ostensibly speaking to Loyola University in October, 1998, when he was a Illinois state senator, Mr. Obama endorses "redistribution" as a way to help the working poor.

"I think the trick is figuring out how to structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution — because I actually believe in redistribution at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot," he said in a YouTube video posted on the Drudge Report.

The YouTube video is labeled "Barack Obama, Loyola University, 10/19/98" and carries no further explanation about who Mr. Obama was speaking to or who shot the video.

The Republican National Committee sent out an email of the Drudge Report's video link and headline: "Revealed: Obama in 1998: 'I Actually Believe in Redistribution.'"

And while we’re at it, lets talk about that civilian national security force he is on record of supporting. Why is it that nobody ever wants to mention that one.

Obama has always said stupid left wing things. I believe a very agile candidate could use the Bizzarre statements in his famous “race speech”.

And how about claims your doctor cuts off your leg, or does surgery on your kids just to make a few bucks? Or that he would give your mom a “pain pill” and let her die.

Romney is not going to win with that argument, unless he comes out with a plan to get the economy going again. We knew that about Obama last election, and McCain couldn't win then either.

Many of the 25% unemployed are looking at the wall street folks that have pulled down millions in bonuses by shipping their jobs overseas and thinking maybe a little redistribution is called for.

They'd rather have their jobs back, but neither candidate has a plan for that.

A sign of things to come. If you think Mitt won’t take the mitts off you are sadly mistaken!

Do one 0bama outrageous clip per day. Then pound him for it.

Keep him on his heels. There’s lots of stuff out there. Troll for it, and have it leaked, posted, headlined, advertised, etc.

Just pound 0bama mercilessly with his own words for every single day until the election.

0bama is UN-AMERICAN and ANTI-AMERICAN.

Sink him with his own words. We’re not done as a civilization yet! 55% will rally to the flag, rather than the burning of the flag!

Debt?
Deficits?
Overrun Embassies?
You didn’t build that?
The Private Sector is Doing Fine?
Spread the wealth around?
ETc.

Republicans and Democrats have been guilty of buying votes by promising FREE STUFF to potential voters according to the dictate of Karl Marx: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” This has led to a Polarized America. This polarization has increased as the number of those with ability has decreased and the number of those with needs has increased.

I call it the Federal Welfare Entitlement Plantation.

“They’d rather have their jobs back, but neither candidate has a plan for that.’

Sure there is. Open up the country and the offshore to drilling. Drilling for energy is a wealth multiplier.

It will be up to us to challenge the eco-fascists, verbally and physically, at town hall meetings when they start squealing like stuck pigs. You up for that? None of us can expect Romney and the Congress to take back America by themselves. They need an army. That’s us.

Yes, this is a good find and should be played up as much as possible. But does anyone really think the “news” media will give this as much coverage as what Romney said? I doubt they will give it any time at all and will do their best to ignore it: “We have so much to cover and only a limited amount of time to do it in. Really, all we have time for is Romney’s “gaffes”.

""""Just pound 0bama mercilessly with his own words for every single day until the election""""....

I wish they would do just that. Every day a different issue, and while Obama is defending that one, go on to another the next day. Keep it up. Keep Zero on the Defense.

There is more than enought material to last until election day.

Everybody in this country gets a free education thru 12 grades.

That is ‘Equal Opportunity”

Obama wants an ‘Equal Outcome”.

Doesn’t work that way.

I am wondering if 0bama has actually ever been poor in any sense. I also wonder whether his mother and grandparents left him serious money or trusts.

They were not poor. has He doesn’t act in any way like he has ever struggled where money is concerned, except as a trust-fund, red-diaper baby who needed to live down his upbringing and tastes.

New Study: Startup Job Creation Collapses
September 13, 2012
by Hudson Institute

“Entrepreneurship is down by a third these last four years,” Kane says. “And the decline continued in 2010 and 2011, even after the economy started growing. Without startup job growth, there simply won’t be overall job growth in the United States.”

The jobs issue will not be fixed until Americans get back to rugged individualism. Many of our jobs problems are because people believe they should be paid 60.00 hr to do something that is really worth about 15.00. If you want to make 60, 100 or even 1000.00 an hour get out there and create something or learn an actual skill that is in demand. But people who make 120 a yr pulling a hydraulic lever on a machine because the union says that's a living wage are voting themselves out of employment.

Now Wall Street is just a criminal cabal in league with our politicians. They don't create sh!t either other than legalized & fixed gambling.
