    Indeed. I saw that quote today and it is unnerving. What I like about it is 0bama showing his true colors. No m ore platitudes about hope & change.

    In case you missed it, he also said something last week which is nearly as bad. He is bragging on the ‘success” of the auto bailout and now thinks the Government should get its tentacles into more businesses.

    “..on Thursday, Obama said, “Now, I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.”

    Whoops. That’s embarrassing. And I scrolled back before I posted that. I just missed it.

    Disagree at will but I, too, think prosperity should be shared. For example, we have a house guest (from Chicago!) here at the Farm this week. Daughter will come out on Friday to spend the weekend. We will have a gathering of friends, ours & daughter’s, on Saturday. We may do some shooting using our ammo. We are certainly sharing our relative prosperity! And we love doing it!

    But here’s the thing. We do this voluntarily– and with enlightened self-interest. If there were a way to quantify what *we* get out of it, I dare say it’s more than what those with whom we are sharing will get out of it (and that’s not including the carpentry work our friend will do for us).

    You know, come to think of it, that’s would make a great ad. Snippets of regular Janes and Joes sharing with friends and families and fellow congregants and neighbors– just members of communities doing what communities do. All with that voice over. Finish up with some killer line: “We agree. But we trust individuals.”

    Yes, that’s sharing prosperity. What 0bama wants is seizure of your prosperity.
