C'mon. The guy reportedly make 13 MILLION a year and he's preaching about income equality. What's he doing to share his wealth with the poor?

Right up there with when Jessi Waters asked hollywood stars what the most important political issue there is now, and they answer "income equality". As those same stars jetted into town, and attended private parties, snatching up free stuff.

Obama digs into fried oysters, fried clams, fried shrimp, onions and freedom fries while enjoying his vacation among the rich. We are told we owe it to the nations’ health care system to force spinach on ourselves and our children but that doesn’t apply to O or his family.

We’re told about global warming and to sacrifice while the same week the president and his wife take separate flights to Aspen, his children jet off to the Bahamas and then they all go on safari to Africa. (Have I mentioned Bo the dog being flown up to the Vineyard in his own helicopter to spend quality time with the First Family? No greenhouse worries for that; the aircraft undoubtedly runs on $75-a-gallon hemp oil).

We’re lectured about our greed, selfishness and income inequality while Obama vacations in his friend’s $8 million weekend retreat and hobnobs with more of his rich friends in Westport, NYC and the West Coast. And so on.

The trouble with this goes beyond the hypocrisy it exposes; the president of the United States is demonstrating that he is above the people of his country, free to do as he chooses while he tells us how to conduct our own lives. He’s not tone-deaf or clueless.

He just doesn’t care. And the liberals continue to lap up his "I'm for you" nonsense.

So while you accuse him of repeating liberal talking points, you parrot Newsbusters almost word for word, did I get that right?

NOTICE they are starting to talk about GLOBAL inequality. You do know you are doing very well compared to other countries right?

"Brian Williams – who reportedly earned $13 million a year in 2012 – quoted Karl Marx while hyping a new report on global income disparity: "...the staggering news out today about the growing gap between the haves and the have nots.""

I have no idea what his political leanings are, do you? Do you think that just because he works for a certain media outlet he personally assumes the mantle of his employer? Can you be any more naive than that?

Admit it.

It was clever, witty and spot on.

You liked it but got upset because you didn't think of it first!

It is clear that nothing I can say will ever change your mind. So, why bother?

Even if I explained it, you wouldn't heed it but continue to be confrontational.
