Obama speaks in Marxist tongue, but majority of Americans not buying it "Below are excerpts from actual White House transcript of President Obama’s remarks:
" “Hans Nichols. Where is Hans?” (Mr. Nichols is a reporter for Bloomberg–and this was obviously an Obama reelection campaign “planted” question.) Read the dialog here.

"The idea of “[absolute] equality,” with “everybody in the country [having] a fair shot,” and “everybody [having equal] success,” is an impossible condition to create and sustain–because people may be equal in terms of DNA and having a soul, but that is where the equality ends.
