I only did that because its how you get media attention and I’m a media whore. For reals.
In 1998, Barack Obama, speaking at Loyola University, because that’s where you go in Chicago if you’re interested in hashing out the finer points of socialist theory, had a message for America: You know what’s really awesome? When the government takes wealth and redistributes it.

Essentially, what Romney said in the “secret Romney video” and what Barack Obama is promoting here is essentially the same thing – a fully dependent population, sucking at the government teat and loving every minute of it so much, they essentially vote only to prolong their tenure – except that Mitt Romney had the nerve to consider that a bad thing. Goddam Mitt Romney and his rich person ways.
Obama embarrassed himself on Letterman when he admitted he doesn’t know how much the national debt is (16 trillion).
He also said that the national debt was merely “a trillion” when he entered the White House. (actually, it was ten trillion).
