Obama's playground economics

Next John McCain will call me communist, Barack Obama says

RALEIGH, N.C. — Barack Obama accused Republican rival John McCain on Wednesday of stooping to low tactics by labeling the Democrat a socialist.

‘‘I don’t know what’s next,’’ Obama, the presidential candidate, said at an outdoor rally in North Carolina. ‘‘By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.’’

Obama turned to ridicule to rebut McCain’s daily references to Obama’s encounter with ‘‘Joe the Plumber.’’ McCain has capitalized on a moment when Obama told an Ohio plumber that he wanted to ‘‘spread the wealth around’’ by boosting taxes on wealthier people to finance a middle class tax cut.

This is what happens when people who aren't funny try to be.

Ever since he was hoodwinked by Joe the Guy with a Productive Job into admitting that he favors looting the productive, Obama has been quite defensive about his redistributionist instincts.

His quip, if you can call it that, reveals more about his worldview than it does about the McCain campaign.

This guy was raised by a Marxist, mentored by a Marxist, preached to by a Marxist and hung out with unrepentant Marxist terrorists and he doesn't get the difference between willful sharing -- true compassion -- and the coerced redistribution of wealth and property?

Nobody would call the former socialism but the latter certainly is and Obama is undeniably a socialist, if not quite a full-blown Marxist.

Let's put it in terms that Obama can understand: The lunch room bully that threatens to beat you up if you don't fork over your Fluffernutter sammich -- that's YOU, "Senator"!

Here's a great object lesson to teach the kids at Halloween:

Some kid comes to your door with a bag bursting with candy -- he worked hard on a cool costume, started early, went to a lot of houses and has quite the feedbag going.

Tell him he needs to leave half the candy in his bag with you so you can "spread the wealth" to the less industrious trick or treaters.

Expect to be scraping a 12-pack of Grade A's off your car in the morning.
