Obama laughs off attacks from McCain :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Lynn Sweet

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.-- John McCain has been calling Barack Obama a socialist, and Obama is calling his bluff in a new riff in his stump speech in which he ups the ante by cracking a joke about his "communistic tendencies." He's methodically putting out the fires -- dousing flames as fast as John McCain can set them -- counting the days until Tuesday, while behind the scenes, a semi-cloistered group of lower-profile Obama aides is working on his transition and first wave of appointments.

As time is running out for a turnaround by McCain and Sarah Palin -- remember early voting is taking place in much of the nation. They are pushing the idea that Obama's tax plans amount to redistributing wealth.

Rather than argue whether he is Robin Hood in a suit, Obama tries to make them look silly.

"John McCain and Sarah Palin, they call this socialistic," Obama said at a rally at the Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fla.

" . . . You know, the next thing I know, they're going to, you know, find evidence of my communistic tendencies because I shared my toys when I was in kindergarten, because I split my peanut butter and jelly sandwich with my friend in sixth grade."

So, in other words, he doesn't deny he's a socialist. He just thinks it's funny that McCain sees it, calls it, and people will vote for him anyway.






What a jerk.

Stop that! When will you learn that you can't say anything opposing the Obama's. You will be accused of "negative" comments. OMG - Wake up!

There's the thing.
If he want's to share his peanut butter with another kid that's fine.

If the teacher takes half his peanut butter and gives it to a kid who's Mom is to lazy to make a sammich and does it every day, it won't be long before he quits making a whole sammich since half is being stolen every day.
