Spread whose wealth?

It's been noted that Obama bought a million dollar house with the help of convicted racketeer Tony Rezko, and continues to live in a very lush style while he tells America we should "spread the wealth around". Of course he means other people's wealth, not his own.

With the help of illegal campaign donations he was able to purchase an entire 30 minutes of prime network time to continue to insist that he just like any other "average guy" who lives in a million dollar house and has ties to the corrupt Chicago political machine.

But while our would be socialist dictator wants us to spread our wealth around, his own brother continues to live in a box on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya and we now learn this...

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court....

[Zeituni Onyango] is a frail woman who walks with the aid of a metal stick. Neighbours said that she lived alone in a ground-floor flat normally set aside for people facing physical hardship.

So while Obama wants to spend your money on people who may or may not need it, he's certainly not willing to part with any of his own, to help his own relatives who very obviously need it. Puts a little better perspective on the real condition of his so-called compassion.
