tyler, tx — While the left wing media is still gasping for breath about the Mitt Romney 47% remark, they are curiously avoiding remarks made by then State Senator Barack Obama about him believing wealth should be redistributed.
NBC News, after doing 9 minutes in the fist news block about Romney's statement a few nights ago, has avoided Obama's statement like a water moccasin in the back yard.
As of the time we recorded this, I still think they've stayed away.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell, a few days back, when asked why that statement got no play remarked, it was because they could not verify it was Obama.
Well, it was him. Video has emerged.
Still, no weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Redistribution of wealth has become the biggest wedge issue of the campaign.
Back then State Senator Obama said "The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources, and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody has a shot,"
How noble to be so noble with other people money.
This is America. Those who cannot fend for themselves need to be cared for.
I believe in a safety net for people who are out of work-- for a while. I do not believe in a gigantic teat from unto which to make a lifestyle.
I believe in helping people. I do not believe in taking people on to raise. And I'll bet you 60% of the country really agrees with me.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Mitt Romney says “redistribution” has “never been a characteristic of America”
Reasonable people can disagree about the wisdom of it, but redistribution has been a basic principle of the U.S. tax system and many federal programs, including some such as veterans benefits that have long attracted support from Republicans. Pants on Fire!

Naming liberal left wing media as responsible of lying by omission is foolish when both left and right media lie by omission. Obamma is all about redistributing wealth but then right wing media hides from Americans the harm done by the privately owned Federal Reserve bank which prints our currency without assets to support it's value? If Obamma is a Marxist for redistributing wealth then what is Bernanke who pumps trillions of worthless dollars into our economy? Media is the enemy of our nation.
TX_BluesMan The Republican-controlled Legislature cut Medicaid reimbursements to doctors by a total of 2 percent in 2010 and 2011 and dramatically reduced payments for patients who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare, the health care program for senior citizens.

Obama says Romney talks tough on China but puts his money there
The Romney campaign confirms this statement. In particular, news reports show as recently as this year, Romney had money invested in funds that owned shares in two Chinese firms.
We rate the statement Mostly True.

mitt said he wants to redistribute the wealth also when he said he would close tax loop holes on the wealthy to gain more income for the government. That is redistribution just look it up in the Webster Dictionary.
John Boehner says Obama engaged in a spending binge that rang up a $16-trillion debt
If you include all growth in the national debt under the Obama administration, it’s roughly $5.4 trillion, not $16 trillion. The administration inherited a national debt of more than $10 trillion when it came into office. But Boehner’s claim saddles the administration with responsibility for all of the $16 trillion. Statement is False
