"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Robin Hood for Today

Obama as Robin Hood!

President Obama is often referred to as Robin Hood as he is delivering to people of the UNited States free money, health care, and help for all people. And Obama is being given credit of taxing the poor and delivering the money to the poor.

However, is this correct? What is the story of Robin Hood? I mean the popular culture story. Richard III, the lionhearted, went to the crusades and left Prince John, with his Mopar parts, in charge of the country. Prince John decided to enrich himself and his friends. So what did Prince John do? He raised the taxes and did projects for himself and his friends.

Robin Hood came along, he may have been a noble or commoner, he stole the tax money back from the wealthy friends of Prince John and gave the tax money back to the people.

So what is the point of Robin Hood? Robin Hood stood up against a greedy and corrupt governemnt that was spending to much people and causing misery upon the people?

So which is Obama? Since Obama is taking from the ‘rich’ I have not become richer.
