McCain Slams ‘Barack the Redistributor’
Barack Obama is really “Barack the Redistributor,” a meme being hammered away by John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the campaign trail.
Taking from Obama’s Chicago public radio interview in which he spoke about “redistributive change,” McCain said Obama wishes to redistribute wealth.
“That is what change means for Barack the Redistributor: It means taking your money and giving it to someone else,” McCain said. “He is more interested in controlling wealth than in creating it, in redistributing money instead of spreading opportunity.”
Palin has taken to calling Obama “Barack the Wealth Spreader” in recent days as well, according to the New Yorker.
The accusations come as charges of “socialism” toward Obama’s policies by Republicans in recent days.
