The Obama Acceptance Speech — No Free Lunch!

All those that were “lucky” enough to get some of those “free” tickets for Barack Obama‘s acceptance speech got a wake up call when they received their notices. Once again, the what-the-meaning-of-is-is Dems are redefining the meaning of a word, this time it’s — FREE. In the Land o’ Obama, “free” doesn’t mean “free” — it means the recipients have to “work” for those tickets. Here, let’s let Ed Morrissey explain:

Even without the campaign-finance issues, this looks very much like a bait-and-switch by Obama. The entire point of the Invesco address was to welcome everyone for free, perhaps because they wanted to ensure that the place was filled to capacity. Now, with everyone excited about attending this free event, Obama suddenly tells them that they can’t get a seat unless they work for him first.

Like most of Obama’s plans, nothing is free. We’ll pay one way or the other for every supposed giveaway in his policies. And in the end, he wants everyone working for him, while tossing hosannas at his feet and giving him the best optics he can possibly get.

One last thing: Obama didn’t require Germans in Berlin to work for him in order to cheer him at the Tiergarten. Why does Obama treat Germans better than Americans?

Obama’s a pol from Chicago — he’d get the dead to work for him if he could! Makes one wonder how many other words mean something else to good ol’ Barack. If free doesn’t mean free, what does freedom mean? I’m just sayin’ . . .
