"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."

He is now calling us selfish for not wanting to pay higher taxes.

This is ridiculous of him to say this.

Nothing like sticking your foot in your mouth.

Don't forget that Biden said that it was patriotic to pay higher taxes. Must not forget him in this mess.

What a brilliant line by Barack Obama. And so incredibly true.

And the topic is Obama saying we are selfish.

So are you saying Obama will NOT raise our taxes at all?

Obama said we are being selfish, what a crock of crap.

48% of us pay ALL taxes while the REAL SELFISH losers do not pay any taxes at ALL.

That is selfish.

In 2000 McCain advocated the progressive tax plan that Obama currently advocates. You can here it from the horse's mouth here:
