Obama’s sockpuppets on TV

I just watched an Obama advisor Brad Woodhouse on Fox News twist Obama’s tax policy as well as misuse the language to twist our whole monetary system into an unrecognizable ball of rhetric.

Woodhouse said that John McCain wants to transfer “all of the wealth in this country” to the rich when he  described the McCain tax policy. That implies that “all of the wealth on this country” belongs to the government. He repeated the same line that I heard earlier in the week that Obama’s tax cut to the low-wage earners is really a transfer of income tax revenues from higher-earners to lower earners and tell everyone that it’s from the Social Secuirty (payroll taxes).

I once read a poll several years ago in which 30% of the respondents thought that all money belonged to the government. Obama and his advisors are playing to that misperception. It reinforces my perception that only the ignorant and uneducated will vote for Obama.

This exchanges I’ve written about here this week demonstrate a weakness in the Obama talking points. Their “95% of Americans” line had gone unchallenged until this week. When they’re finally forced to explain what they mean, Americans are able to see what a thin veneer is their deceit.

Woodhouse went on to say that the Obama campaign has nothing to apologize to Joe the Plumber over…that all of the attacks on him were from extra-campaign sources. How about this one, Woody (by Cuffy Meigs);

How about an apology from this guy who denigrated plumbers everywhere.
The latest Obama commercial claims that even though McCain isn’t President Bush, he voted with President Bush 90% of the time. Well, Obama, when he bothered to vote in his three years in the Senate, voted with his party 97% of the time. They accomplished nothing but a minimum wage increase which has caused our unemployment to rise. So what’s his point?
