DURHAM, N.C. - Here's one way to get a presidential candidate to change his mind: If you're a 5-year-old, shed a few tears.

That's how Hadassah Jones, of Durham, got Barack Obama to answer questions Thursday after the campaign initially denied such requests from reporters.

Crouching to the ground after a rally with 4,000 supporters, Obama briefly outlined for Hadassah his plan to provide health insurance for everyone and to improve schools. He also suggested to the first-grader that wealthier people should help those who are less fortunate.

SNIP:
"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money," Obama said. "If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"

all good words a kid would agree as well.
take this on to a national level ie national health / social security system (like ours)
the rot sets in ' african immigrants (with aids ) have been known to come here not declare the condition they have then rape our nhs it costs thousands in aids treatments ( we all pay a contributuion ) .
so sharing the pizza when we are all big kids isnt so quaint .
russian communisn could well have had better answers without the corruption
