Lynn, when I post something of which I am unsure , I generally say that I am
unsure of the source. In this case, I gave my sources, CNBC, and the NY
Post, which, I went to the website, and in my post, I quoted the website, and
gave a link.

According to CNBC, this was getting no interest from the other media. I
had already read the NYT and the Wash. Post. I didn't notice it mentioned in
either place. I guess people will interpret the clip however they view
Obama. I tend to agree with you on what the clip actually says, but with
Obama's socialistic leanings, I can see the other interpretation.

I do try to verify when I can, and always try to remember to say that I am
unsure , if I can't verify. I always welcome correction .... ..............
