Talk about a storm in a teacup- no wonder it's become a laughing stock. Obama could have come out with a more cleverly nuanced statement than 'We gotta spread the wealth', I agree, given the sensitivities and doublespeak of contemporary politicking but like so what.

Joe Plumber, Bill Ayers and Acorn = the McCain campaign. Does McCain really live in the USA, or is he a hologram beamed from the planet Zog.
