I’m really, really, really sorry that this video is from Fox News, but I haven’t been able to find the source video anywhere else and I really think you need to see it. It doesn’t have any talking heads speaking over it, no anchor offers his editorial opinion after it, it’s just Barack Obama’s own words. I’ve seen the longer version, this doesn’t do anything to take his words out of context; the split you’ll see it merely cutting out some pauses and a few “ums” and “ers”. Since the longer version did have talking heads over it, I’ve chosen to show this shortened version instead.
Anyway, watch and listen as Barack Obama personally answers a direct question from a plumber who owns his own small business:

Plumber: Your new tax plan’s gonna to tax me more, isn’t it?

Obama: It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just wanna make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they have a chance at success too… I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.

“Spread the wealth around.” Read that again. Go ahead. Watch it again. Listen to what he’s saying. Listen to it.
Now tell me that’s not Socialism.

We’ve heard such statements before from Michelle Obama, we’ve heard it from people on the periphery of the campaign, we’ve even heard allusions to it from Obama. But this is the first time that I’m aware of where those words, such specific words, have come straight from the mouth of Obama while on the campaign trail. How much more obvious does it need to get before people realize that Obama is a flat out socialist?

Read more after the jump. I do hope you’ll continue reading, as this is one of the most important posts I’ve ever written. I’d greatly appreciate your kind attention.
