Yes, what's believed is amazing, especially when coupled with the Obama campaign. "I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car and I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage" is what she says makes her so enthralled with Obama. I wonder who is going to pay for those things?

Ignorance really must be bliss, as the old saying goes.
The following is an excerpt from an email sent from a young U.S. Marine who did a tour in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan back to back in defense of our nation, my son. The expermint he describes was conducted on Election Day.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I 've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
