Obama Wonders What McCain Will Call Him Next: A Communist?
(CBS)
(RALEIGH, N.C.) - Barack Obama may have shared his toys and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in grade school, but that doesn't make him a socialist or a communist, he argued at a rally here today.
Blasting back at McCain’s criticism of his tax plan, Obama ridiculed his opponent’s assertion.
“He's called me a socialist for wanting to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans so we can finally give tax relief to the middle class. I don't know what's next,” Obama said at a rally at the Halifax mall here.
“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.”
While he continued to link McCain to George Bush, Obama linked himself up with Bill Clinton.
“I've got economic theories that are similar to Bill Clinton's and he's got economic theories that are similar to George Bush's - you can look and see which one worked and which one didn't.” The shout-out to Clinton comes on the same day the former president will appear at a nighttime rally in Florida with Obama.
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds blasted back at the Obama after the event.
“No one cares what Barack Obama does with his toys, but Americans do care that he wants to raise taxes, add a trillion dollars in new spending and redistribute your hard-earned paycheck as he sees fit,” Bounds said.

WHILE DEPRIVING our DECENT, LAW ABIDING citizens of the enjoyment of our RIGHTS TO LAWFULLY BEAR ARMS?
Only to place our government at the mercy of someone whom has such lifelong ties to associations of guerilla''s and extremist behavior.
DID you know that throughout history the Marxists/socialists motto has been -Let''s spread the wealth in order to bamboozle the public to elect them.
Perhaps, the right catch phrase for this election should be ---WAKE UP AMERICA FOR THE FREEDOMS YOU SAVE WILL BE YOUR OWN!!

2. because we are a Nation whom refuses to accept socialized medicine, it has no plus side to it It only grants medical community the right to not care if someone dies while waiting for treatment.
why would WE THE PEOPLE whom have worked so hard for so long to pay into this SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE want to be left abandoned at the ''most frail time of health and age" to the mercy of socialized medicine?
3. because we as a nation want the freedom to peacably and wihtout breaking the law enjoy our right to bear arms.
WHY would anyone think it''s Okay to turn the SAFETY of WE THE PEOPLE over to a president whom to the present accepts funds and has a lifelong history of amicably close involvement with someone like ayers whom openly is involved with organizations involved with guerilla''s.
1. because WE THE PEOPLE are a nation whom refuse to be without the right to lobby for affordable SOC. SEC, medicare without privatizing and without loss of services.
Without the petitioning rights thru lobbying anyone can pillage SOCIAL SECURITY and medicare and there isn''t anything anyone can do about.
Everyone knows business will always find cash to make it''s voice heard even without "lobbying rights"
Here to the present he has 47 lobbyists and counting.
So, here is a man whom has enjoyed the right to lobby in furthering his career while seeking to deprive WE THE PEOPLE of ours.
Here a copy & paste from wikipedia quoting a statement made by Bill Ayers as late as 1995, the SAME year he was helping to launch Obama%u2019s political career:
"I am a radical, Leftist, small ''c'' communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I''m the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small ''c'' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don''t like Lenin as much as the early Marx. [27)
In June 1974, Weather Underground released a 151-page volume titled Prairie Fire, which stated: "We are a guerrilla organization [...] We are communist women and men underground in the United States [...]
In 1966 Obama was funded by MARXISTS for more than a "few" years. To the present he has socialist backing/approval.
In his college years OBAMA says in a book that he preferred the communistic/socialist circles.

IN SPITE OF THE FACT Bill Ayers bombed U.S. buildings and property and was a fugitive from justice in the late 60%u2019s, does this prove that Obama has or is doing anything wrong? Absolutely not!
However, you can be sure that Obama shares much of the same ideology as Bill Ayers for Bill Ayers to be willing to help launch Obama%u2019s political career and financially donate to his election campaign.

What if Obama had said, ''When I was a kid, I shared Joe the Plumber''s peanut butter sandwiches and toys with the other kids in school?'' That is VASTLY DIFFERENT.
A story I heard from a friend in Europe -
"A man came up to me in Berlin who had just gotten out of East Germany, having escaped like many East Germans did. I was preaching in a church there and he wanted to make a comment. "Do you know what the difference is between Communism and Christianity?'' he asked? No, I answered. "Communism says - What''s yours is mine - Christianity says - What''s mine is yours.'' "
It is not the sharing thing. Sharing is good. It is the control thing. Who controls your ''goodness''? You or the state?
His tactics are typical repuglican behaviour belittle, smear, lie, exaggerate, distort.
Can anyone here list what mcain really stands for?
By the way him calling Obama elitist was hilarious,this son of a millitary brass, whocheated on then ditched his faithful disfigured first wife to marry a palin-like billionaire beauty queen, can sure relate to the likes of joe the plumber
The special interests and lobby groups want to buy government decisions on the cheap and take advantage of Americans without having to deal with the complex results that might cripple our nation. They get people from the top of their class to represent them and manipulate to take advantage. We are too lax about the possibility that we might be represented by those from the bottom of their class and that we might be making it easy for the special interest lobby groups to take advantage of us. Again!!! They "spread the wealth" from the middle class up to the rich who pay for their services.
Wow, thanks!
This sort of assertion always makes me laugh. Try to have a sense of perspective!
In the Cuban revolution, they lined up many of the rich against the wall and shot them. The rest fled to Florida. Then the government took over all of their land and property. That''s socialist dictatorship.
Raising the top martginal tax rate by 3% to pay for perfectly reasonable energy, health care and economic stimulus policies is NOT socialist dictatorship. It is merely repealing the Bush tax cuts to the extremely wealthy, which amounted to a huge handout at taxpayer expense.
The only real redistribution of wealth going on is upward. The Bush administration gave the wealthy and big corporations massive tax breaks, loopholes, subsidies, no-bid contracts, and bailouts. That''s welfare for the rich. It''s about time we stopped handing the rich free money, and go back to having them pay a fairer share.
These greed-heads have wrecked our economy, ruined our standing as a nation, and possibly done irreparable harm to our planet. They should feel fortunate if all they get is a 3% tax hike.
