Obama Calls for More Redistribution of Wealth, Declaring: ‘I Am My Brother’s Keeper’ By Terence P. Jeffrey April 2, 2012
(CNSNews.com) - In a campaign speech in Vermont on Friday, President Barack Obama referenced the biblical story of Cain and Abel in condemning what he called "you're-on-your-own economics" while arguing for a number of policies that involve government transferring wealth from one group of citizens to another—including providing public schools with more money for teachers’ salaries, freezing the interest rates on government-backed student loans, supporting companies developing biofuels, electric batteries and wind and solar power and funding scientists who are doing research on stem cells and climate change.
“I hear politicians talking about values in an election year,” Obama said. “I hear a lot about that. Let me tell you about values. Hard work, personal responsibility--those are values. But looking out for one another. That’s a value. The idea that we’re all in this together. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper. That’s a value.”

It’s not “theft”, it is leveling the playing field....
Which is immediately carpet-bombed and turned into a vast minefield, inflicting damage on EVERYBODY. Strangers and brothers alike.
That's wonderful, Hussein .... but what about all of us white folks ?
if you are your brother’s keeper, then keep your brother with YOUR money. you have no right to force me, via taxes, to pay for YOUR brother. I’m busy paying for mine.
This piece of S$% has his aunt in a housing project and his brother in a mud hut in Kenya on $12 a month.
Is that what he wants for us? YES ! ! ! !
NO BAMA NO WAY - A B O!!!
He’s such an idiot.
just telling all the hippies up in Ben and Jerry Land what they want to hear
i’m reminded ot a scene from teh three stooges when Moe proclaims loudly “I’ll fight to the last drop of...” and he points to Shemp “...YOUR blood!”
He ain’t my brother.
He ain’t my keeper.
I’d rather be on my own economically than be a government parasite.
Everybody keeps reading this passage wrong. God NEVER said that Cain was his brother’s keeper. He said that Cain was his brother’s murderer. Read it closely.
That said, animals have keepers. Sane human adults don’t.
No wait ZERO, I take it back.
He will bring him over here and make him a useless Govt employee with OUR money. He sure as hell won't use any of his. . .
But not your half-brother’s keeper.
Exactly! If you read and understand the Bible, it puts a difference between charity and theft. If 0bama0 is really his brother's keeper as he says he is, why is his half-brother living in squalor in Kenya on about $12 per month while 0bama0 lives in the lap of luxury with multiple millions of dollars in the bank?
Exactly!
God puts a difference between charity and theft, but socialists don't. To them, charity begins with theft, not of their wealth, but everybody else's.
If 0bama0 is really his brother's keeper as he says he is, why is his half-brother living in squalor in Kenya on about $12 per month while 0bama0 lives in the lap of luxury with multiple millions of dollars in the bank?
Look for massive, nation-wide, well-coordinated disruption immediately before and during the Republican Convention. Occupy was the trial balloon.
Any bets on how long before our first Affirmative Action Anus POTUS appears in a hoodie?
Of course, if Barry wants to be his brother’s keeper in the biblical sense, then Barry needs to use his personal resources to do so. Confiscating one person’s resources and giving them to another is not being one’s brother’s keeper; it’s stealing. Were Barry really concerned about others, he’d stop with the racial and economic politics and start working for, rather than against, America. I’m not holding my breath.
You know what, yo? Why don’t you just keep to yourself.
