Washington Hillbillies

This is a clip from a lecture I gave at Oxford University back in 1992. They gave me an award and a fellowship in the Oxford Union Society. The first American comedian to receive such an honor. That’s how they got me to work for nothing. Enjoy!

The stage is set. The banks and the insurance companies are under the government’s control with the recently passed economic bail out. Other major sector’s of the economy have their hand out to the Washington, DC. The Democrats are well on their way to having super majorities in the House and Senate. Enter the King, Barack Obama. An Obama administration will have unparalleled power in upcoming years. It was no mistake when Obama told the now infamous “Joe the Plumber” he wanted to spread the wealth. He tried to spin it in another way but that is just what he wants to do. In a 2001 radio interview just uncovered he says the same thing, lamenting that the Supreme Court didn’t include “Economic Justice” in the civil rights decisions of the 1960’s, another way of saying “Spreading The Wealth”. When a Florida anchor woman had the nerve to ask Sen. Biden about Obama’s socialistic ideas, the Obama campaign said they will no longer appear on that station and cancelled all other appearances. Is this what we have to look forward to, Obama silencing the media when they ask tough questions? Sounds like a certain guy in Venezuela.
