McGrath: The part I think Obama would like to take back is "speading the wealth" Under Obama's tax plan he would increase the tax on the "haves" and the increased amount would be given to those who do not pay income tax. It's an additional welfare program. The McCain campaign capitalized on that remark and since Obama visited Joe the Plumber, the polls have tightened up. Had he not made that remark, and had Biden not stuck both feet in his mouth (which he does regularly) the Obama campaign would likely still have a healthy lead in the polls.

TIA: Were I not a nice fellow, I might be inclined to make a rude remark about you too. But I won't do that. Because I am nice, I play nice.
