AHA! look at your source. I found it elsewhere.

Whatever he meant by the comment, not a good thing to say aloud.

"My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Sounds good to me.

Does anybody have a link to the full exchange? When I google, I can't find Steph's preface. From the soundbites I've heard (admittedly from rightie sources), it sounds like Senator Obama is saying this guy (or at least others like him) doesn't take care of his emplyees.

I don't have the whole thing. I just quoted from the article that Mike cited in the comment.

Why is this quote different from
Steph's?

Did he say it twice??

Plumber to Obama: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more. Isn’t it?”

Obama: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
