An Obama funny

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference -- just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

Just a suggestion...you might want to steer clear of that restaurant from now on. lol.


Oh, were you under the impression that he'd actually DONE this, in a REAL restaurant? You ought to know better by now, LOL: he lifted it from someone else (who, quite likely, didn't actually DO any of the actions described, either).

Ah, I see someone's already beaten me to this particular punch. I read this OP, thought "mileanim wrote this? Don't think so..." and ten seconds later, I had the same answer you did. Heh.

Do you honestly believe that if somehow, the Republicans had managed to hold onto majorities in both houses of Congress, we'd not be in the mess we're currently in? Or even that it would be substantially different than it is now? If so, how, specifically, would it be different?

Fringe-dwellers?

Did you ever see the movie "The Others?" I keep wondering when you're going to have that moment of realization that YOU'RE the one you keep thinking/worrying about?

Thanks...but I reject class warfare out of hand. IF you want more...earn it.


LOL! No you don't; you just prefer when it's heavily stacked in favor of one side.

>>I'd expect them to be honest,<<

So you are hoping they will do as you say, and not as you do.

LOL! Of course...but it's always been stacked in favor of people who work hard, innovate and take risks...compared to people who prefer to go around with their hand out.

Not at all, why would you think that?

Can someone explain this to me?


Can we really believe that either candidate can or will cut taxes?
