laugh riot.....we can see how his redistribution of wealth is already working. The morning paper said his campaign workers somewhere in indiana didn't get paid. Maybe they were some of those stupid white indiana folks.
In this video, Barack Obama, then an Illinois Senator, explains: 1) That political and economic justice - through "redistribution of wealth" was not addressed by the Supreme Court in the Civil Rights movement. 2) Our Constitution DID NOT BREAK FREE of constraints, at the time of the Civil Rights movement, placed there by our Founding Fathers 3) At the time of the Movement, the Warren court interpreted our Constitution as a "charter of negative liberties." 4) The focus was lost during the Movement that would have channeled "community organizing" into changes for "redistributive change." Thank you to YouTube.com and Conservative Thoughts PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT: MODERATOR: Good morning and welcome to Odyssey on WBEZ Chicago 91.5 FM and we're joined by Barack Obama who is Illinois State Senator from the 13th district and senior lecturer in the law school at the University of Chicago. OBAMA: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples. So that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I'd be okay. But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, it says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn't shifted. One of the,...

Obama interview about his true redistribution of wealth. Economic justice aka "socialism" or more specifically reparations. He also does not value the Constitution. How can he take an oath to uphold the Constitution when he abhors it.
I didn't think Obama had the spine to say the truth for fear of offending the idiot,inbred,rednecks of America.After this video I am finally secure about who to vote for.Obama,if he follows these principles,will be the greatest president of all time.
Written by Joan Walsh of Salon, Inc.John McCain hit a new low Monday with his claim about a suddenly"revealed" interview with Barack Obama from 2001 proving that Obamafavors "redistributive change" and that Obama is a "redistributor"(sorry, but that's not going to make it onto a bumper sticker). DidMcCain or anyone in his campaign listen to the interview? Did MattDrudge before linking to it? Open Salon's Kris Broughton broke it down in all its complexity earlier today, and Tom Schaller had it here.Obama'sinterview with Chicago's WBEZ was specifically about the civil rightsmovement, and the best ways to remedy the conditions of black peopleafter slavery and Jim Crow. When Obama talks about "redistributivechange," it's in the context of what needed to be done for Americanswho were slaves, who owned nothing; in fact, they were owned.Anyone who's honest knows that the legacy of African-American familypoverty can be traced back to slavery and Jim Crow. Obama is notranting wildly about income distribution in the interview; he's talkingcalmly and thoughtfully about the array of strategies needed to erasethat legacy.The greatest irony is that Obama sounds conservativethemes in the interview. He says the civil rights movement relied toomuch on the courts, and not enough on legislation, community organizingand political will. This is exactly what conservatives have said aboutthe movements of the 1960s -- that they relied too much on judges,rather than the legislative system. But what's really remarkable aboutthe interview is listening to Obama talk with nuance and insight andcompassion about issues that have moral, legal and politicalramifications. Listen to it, and imagine having a president who talksthis way. I can't wait for next Tuesday.
Ergo, Barack Obama is Un-American.Obama and the New PartyObama began seeking the New Party endorsement in 1995. He had been running in a four way primary against his former boss, Senator Alice Palmer, herself a far left radical, and two other individuals. But an election law quirk gave Obama the upper hand. In order to get on the ballot, candidates had to collect signatures of voters. Printed names were not allowed. Obama challenged the petitions of his rivals and was able to get every one of them thrown off the ballot. By the time the ballot was drawn up for the 1996 election, Obama’s was the only name in the race.Nonetheless, Obama still coveted the New Party endorsement. The New Party required candidates who received the endorsement sign a pledge of support for the party. Obama did not need to support a party that was, in effect, a front group for communists…Barack Obama, not needing to, chose to affiliate himself with this band of quasi-communists. As the nation moves closer to the election, it is clear that Obama chose to affiliate with assorted anti-American radicals. Machiavelli once noted that we can know a leader by the people he surrounds himself with. What does that say about Barack Obama…? Newspaper shows Obama belonged to socialist partyThe New Party, formed by members of the Democratic Socialists for America and leaders of an offshoot of the Community Party USA, was an electoral alliance that worked alongside the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. The New Party’s aim was to help elect politicians to office who espouse its policies.Among New Party members was linguist and radical activist Noam Chomsky.Obama’s campaign has responded to the allegations, denying the presidential candidate was ever a member of the New Party.…New Ground, the newsletter of Chicago’s Democratic Socialists for America, reported in its July/August 1996 edition that Obama attended a New Party membership meeting April 11, 1996...
In a 2001 Chicago Public Radio Interview, Obama is discussing the best way to bring about a Redistribution of Wealth.
One of the tragedies of the civil rights movement, because it became so court focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change.
