What is it with Barack Obama and pie? A liberal blogger reports on his rally in Miami yesterday:
He told us, “After eight years of Bush-McCain economics, the pie is shrinking. And what’s left of the pie has been eaten by millionaires and billionaires. Everybody here wants some pie. We want to grow the pie. And then we want a slice of the pie!”
We chanted “We Want Pie!”
The video is here.
Obama says that ‘everyone deserves a chance at the American dream.’ It’s only if you succeed at achieving the American dream that Obama intends to take your pie away (to put it in terms Obama understands) and give it to someone else.
Can’t an improving economy help all Americans, without having to take from those who do well to give it to those who only do OK? The federal government is currently confiscating $1 trillion from the top 40 percent to the bottom 60 percent.
Here’s a question for Barack Obama: how much is enough? Is it $1.3 trillion? $2 trillion? More?

Obama's grandiose, pandering
ColoKid Wednesday, October 22nd at 11:41AM EST (link)populism is simply mind-blowing. He’s certainly received a big slice of the “shrinking pie” in campaign contributions. Guess it’s not shrinking THAT fast, eh?
Hope the post-election headlines read: “Obama Eats Humble Pie”.
SOCIALISTS LIKE PIE
Ed54 (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 11:45AM EST (link)Can’t believe Obama would have the nerve to bring up Pie:
“If all men were just, there would be no need of valor.”

Excellent post, Ed54

I can't hear Obama say pie and not laugh

Anti-American
Extreme Punditry (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 1:18PM EST (link)Yes I said it! Barack Obama is Anti-American because he stands against what America is. He’s a big old communistic turd. They’re the worst kind of turd.
He’s the only person that can make me not crave pie.

AP in the tank for the O-man
Steve Maley (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 1:23PM EST (link)This morning’s Baton Rouge Advocate with the above-the-fold banner headline: “REDISTRIBUTION NOT NEW: Tax-and-spend wealth spreading a long U.S. tradition”. This makes me want to puke.
Link to the AP story here.
Common sense should tell you that when nearly 50% of income earners pay no income tax, something’s wrong. As the Wall Street Journal has shown, Obama’s tax plan will create a giant disincentive for the working poor to work more to improve their condition; to me, that’s immoral.
I am old enough to remember the high marginal tax rates that Ronald Reagan got rid of. High marginal rates back then caused the wealthy to pursue non-productive investments only to avoid taxes.
Our system is voluntary; if the wealthy are asked to pay a tax rate that they perceive to be unfair, they have the options of a) curtailing investment, or b) checking out of the system entirely.

How do you make pie when the bakery folded?
Jumpedship (Diary) Wednesday, October 22nd at 2:09PM EST (link)**What a pig-in-a-poke Obama is peddling. Nobody gets any pie after Obama taxes the bakery out of existence.
Good luck cultivating inventors and entrepreneurs when there’s nothing in it for them.
Good luck creating businesses, that employ people, when Obama kills the catalysts for inventions and ideas.
Good luck EVER getting out of the economic crisis with a Socialist economy growing a whopping 1% a year.
And I believe Gates BOUGHT the pies and didn’t steal them. With the philanthropy he’s deep into, he’d turn around and give the pies to everyone who couldn’t afford a slice.
A Pie in Every Pot

You can’t afford the price of free corn.
Obama will turn this country into Zimbabwe
