During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.
And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.
A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to age 18 — a man he cryptically refers to as "Frank" — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."
(A video-streamed bio on Obama's Web site includes a photo of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom. If you freeze the frame and look closely at the blackboard Obama is writing on, you can make out the words "Power Analysis" and "Relationships Built on Self Interest" — terms right out of Alinsky's rule book.)
(Voters might also be interested to know that Obama, the supposed straight shooter, does not once mention his father's communist leanings in an entire book dedicated to his memory.)
In Kenya's recent civil unrest, Obama privately phoned the leader of the opposition Luo tribe, Raila Odinga, to voice his support. Odinga is so committed to communism he named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.
Throughout his career, Obama has worked closely with a network of stone-cold socialists and full-blown communists striving for "economic justice."
AP poll found that only 6% of Americans would describe Obama as "liberal," let alone socialist.

Obama's current use of "tailspin" when talking about saving and creating jobs would be a hoot to hear him define it, well, except to those who are unemployed...
Wow, a failed education system in action.
I guess we know what NAACP economic justice means...the “R” word.
Media also should check and see how the NAACP is enjoying how their economic justice is being served
There's the problem right there.
You have to realize that the entire country is being run by a pack of communications majors. This is traditionally the major for people who aren't very bright, don't want to do any work, and don't know much but have a nice smile.
And the MSM is now a formal propaganda agency. But lately many of them are loosing money, suspect that will be the next "bail-out".
Good Point.
AP = Always Propaganda
“Economic justice” is why Robert Mugabe threw productive white farmers off their farms in Zimbabwee and gave those farms to blacks who did not know how to farm. Mugabe told the world that is why he did it. We know the result. Famine.
Decisions based on “economic justice” simply lead to disaster. 0bama is short sided and ignorant to speak of making major economic decisions because of “economic justice”.
“Economic justice” = “Redistribute the wealth” = Socialism by govt. edict.
“Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn’t have to”
It’s nice that Black Ministers have a calling, they sure don’t preach about ‘thou shall not kill.”
Back door reparations. That’s the definition.
Obama’s “economic justice” is the justice of the looter:
“I don’t have it.”
“I want it.”
“I don’t want to work for it.”
“You have it.”
“I’ll take it.”
