Obama Says "I Do Think At A Certain Point You've Made Enough Money"

In this speech about financial reform, Obama does his normal thing where he does off the teleprompter and gives it to us real. Straight shooter that he is. He adopts his alter ego of The Redistributor and tells us he knows that at some point people have "made enough money." We can't wait for the social engineering legislation that accompanies that thought.

Excuse me Mr.President,does that go for your girl friend Ophy? Or the hollywood elitist like Tom my Bank account is loaded Hanks and George the clueless looney Clooney? Or your pals like Lebron and his buds in the NBA? Or how about George i want to own all the money in the world Soros? In this case yes,cause he is the biggest danger in the world and should be charged with crimes against the world.But you never mention him or anyone else mentioned here.Only CEO'S are bad in your world.

@godvia Facts are neither partial nor impartial. That's why you call them facts. The C.R.A was introduced in 1977 by Jimmy Carter. The repeal of Glass-Steagall was introduced into law by Bill Clinton. The concept that "everyone has a RIGHT to a decent home" was part of the so-called Second Bill of Rights of FDR.

Now, if Carter, Clinton, and FDR were somehow conservatives, I must have missed that memo.

@dalmatian847 "Liberal housing policy"..Good to see I can have an impartial discussion with you. But I'll pass.

[dalmatian847]

@godvia What crashed the financial system "that we all have to adhere to" was misguided liberal housing policy.Pure and simple. That's the policy that former Obama Cheif Economic Advisor Austen Goolsbee defended in 2007, even after it was apperent what had happened. The policy Obama himself thought "was a good idea at the time". Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were omitted from the "sweeping" reform of Dodd-Frank. Wanna take a guess as to why?

[dalmatian847]

@godvia Does George Soros and Warren Buffet? I don't recall Obama singling them out, do you? For that matter , of what relevance is that to my initial points of 1) under what constitutional authority does Obama get to decide "who's made enough money" and 2) the VERY selective outrage that Obama uses in determining this. Kindly explain how a Frankin Rains or Jim Johnson of Fannie Mae made millions by crashing the financial system, yet the main culprit wasn't addressed in the so-called reforms?

@dalmatian847 Do actors, athletes and trial lawyers manipulate the financial system that we all have to adhere to??

[1994buttons]

Does that include your pay checks Mr. President??

@VerbotenDingleberry You Are awesome

[Artisticer]

@LEFT4BASS You're correct - AND, even though Conservatives on the whole are MORE GENEROUS than Liberals (even without the variable of church giving). See the book, WHO REALLY CARES by Arthur C. Brooks - the findings of his research to see who really cared, the Left or the Right, blew his left-leaning mind & he was forced to change his pre-conceived notions. Conservatives not only give more money, they also volunteer more time and give more blood.

@mattdd05 I'd like him to mind his own damn business and focus of why he was hired. To fix an economy that has gotten worse under his watch. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who was taking to as he has gone on record attacking the compensation of hedge fund managers and CEO's.

What he has not gone on the record attacking is the the outrageous compensation of his pals in Hollywood , professional sports and trial lawyers.

The POTUS' isn't just another opinion, now is it?

[mattdd05]

@dalmatian847 Just because my friends are all murderers, does that mean I have to be in favour or murder? He didn't direct the comments to anyone PUBLICLY, but anyone who knows that they have an excess of money knows that he is talking about them. What do you want from him, to name the exact list of people who have too much money. The amount of money that one considers "too much" is arbitrary, everyone has their own opinion.
