I am pretty sure I see "I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." << I see that quote in there so how is it a lie to say the president said that quote? A lie would be that quote isnt in there and someone said he said it when he didnt
I am pretty sure I just copied that quote from your post there for he said it which means its not a lie to say he said that
Are you familiar with the Yiddish proverb, "A half truth is a whole lie"?
Familiar with it or not, do you have the ability to think about it for half a second and reflect on what it means?
Wait, wait, I have an idea--
Picture Bill Clinton doing it, and then see if you can understand it.
I've seen both the short and long video and it sounded to me like the President realized what he had said and backpedaled. Slip or not, it reveals a lot to me. I've never even thought that there should be a limit on earning. If you put in the hours of hard work, or the years of education, or the risk of trying something unproven or any combination above, then you should be rewarded.
There's nothing in what Obama said that indicates he thinks there should be a limit on what people should be allowed to earn.
Beck is just wondering when one has made too much money and the government has to take the rest if more than his amount is made. I am also wondering about that.
Beck is a preacher and a very dishonest one at that. He talks to his audience as though they are little kids and based upon his ratings people soak up his garbage up. He gets richer and they get dumber.

Conservatives who claim otherwise are lying.
haha, you expect people to believe you here? I really can't believe you said that and ACTUALLY believe yourself. Man, you repeated "YES WE CAN!" 1 too many times, it has damaged your critical thinking skills.

Those with a preconceived notion that Obama is a socialist, can't see the forest though the trees - he isn't. It's not Jack that has damaged critical thinking skills.
There is noone greedier than a leftist radical in power. So the present regime has high "hopes" of getting some of these aforementioned rich libs' money. No such hopes, however, for other people's money, so they have to find ways to steal it. BoBo just being euphemistic when he infers we should put a limit on our earnings. What he really means is, "the more you make, the more we take".
Well, in fairness, and taking into account their ability to comprehend, can you blame him?
Read John Dean's Conservatives Without Conscience and you will learn that many (certainly not all) conservatives are followers of authoritarian figures such as Beck, Limbaugh... with this info it's not hard to understand why the Right followed Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, etc.

And with your finely honed sheep and head in the sand skills, it is no wonder people like yourself followed Stalin and want to return to that type of rule.
The other way round, I work so little because I despise being rich. I am not poor, I work just so much that I can live a decent, but minimalist life without loosing money. Nor is there lethargy in my life. I guess I simply have a totally different idea of what life is about. I used to work full-time years ago, but I felt I was wasting my life, while I didn't need all that money anyway.
Anyway, we are not talking about normal people here, but the filthy rich ones mentioned in the op. And nobody deserves that kind of money, no matter what they do and how many hours per week.
Well I am so glad that YOUR life is so casual and wonderful. Especially since it is being paid for with other peoples money. Therefore your, non wasting away, life exist off the backs of the working people.
That whole continent isn't worth a d***!
