Michelle Obama: We’re going to take part of your pie...
Posted by: McQ on Wednesday, April 09, 2008

So are we to ignore what the spouse is saying out there on the campaign trail (Bill Clinton wouldn't appreciate that, would he) and pretend it really isn't an indicator of what the candidate believes?

"If we don't wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership ... for how we want this country to work, then we won't get universal health care," she said.

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

Let me restate that for you.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".

Sound familiar?

uotObama: Zero Sum Games
Posted by: Jon Henke on Thursday, April 10, 2008

Barack Obama says "stagnant wages and global competition" makes people think opportunity is a "zero sum game"...

[I]n an era of stagnant wages and global competition, opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense.

Michelle Obama says we're playing a zero sum game...

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

There's not much global competition for hospital administrator jobs. Maybe it's her stagnant wages.
