What's really killing me now is the obvious bias that just about every major media outlet is exhibiting in their coverage of the political race. The hot topic this week is the "Joe the Plumber" incident in which an average citizen attempted to ask an honest question and the treatment that he's received as a result of it. For one thing, he asked a freaking question, and was respectful in the asking. Because of this, every Tom, Dick, and Harry has been checking into his background attempting to discredit him. It doesn't matter about his background. What matters here is NOT whether or not he owes back taxes or has his license or eats peas with his knife or anything else. What's important is that he asked a question of the Great and Wonderful Oz-ama and is being treated like a bad guy. The person who was questioned is running for president, and although he's not currently DOING the job for which he's still drawing a salary, he's a FUCKING PUBLIC SERVANT! He needs to be asked questions and he needs to answer them. He's not the messiah, people. Quit it.
The real scary thing is that so much emphasis is being put on the Plumber that everyone seems to have overlooked the answer that Obama gave to the question - he wants to spread the wealth around.
So, are you ready for socialism? Because that's what he's saying when he says he wants to spread the wealth around.
A short definition of socialism: "Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism by nature concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly..."
Runs contrary to and counter to the usual thought of the American dream. I didn't work through college, live in public housing, and get myself off of welfare to turn around and give away everything. I managed to work my way up in the world and so has my husband. I'm not doing the work for other people. Let them do it themselves. More examples of the Democrats taking such good care of people that they don't manage to learn to take care of themselves. Isn't there a proverb about that?
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. "

Amen sister! Could not agree with that more. So sick of the nation's hard-on with Obama. Just reading your writing, me likes and agrees. I just started my blog yesterday: "Notes from a Suburban Mother", just figuring out how to get around this thing. But thanks for saying what very few will dare. Can't wait until Obamamania has calmed down.
