Sorry to use a vanity on this. But it seems somewhat important. I haven't heard it yet, but the description is: Slavery and the Constitution Richard John - Associate professor of history at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the author of Spreading the News: The American Postal System from Franklin to Morse Barack Obama - Illinois State Senator from 13th district and a senior lecturer in the law school at the University of Chicago Jan Lewis - Professor of history at Rutgers University, in Newark, New Jersey. She is the author of the forthcoming book Women, Slaves, and the Creation of a Liberal Republic

There may also be more nuggets.

I just got RealPlayer so I haven’t listened to much of the stream, but I may have been wrong as to which interview is used in the source audio. Obama was a frequent guest! See what we can find in the following juicy sounding topics :)

...someone should do a screen shot in case these items are scrubbed from the website too.

I copied 3 BO audio’s on my desktop.

While listening to the September 6, 2001 tape, I transcribed then added into the second update above the part where BHO expresses his low opinion of our Constitution.

Slugobama calls the Constitution of the United States an "Imperfect document" that has a huge blind spot.

It appears Obamessiah wants to rewrite the Costitution of the United States in his own image so that it will address redistribution of wealth and other Afrocentric issues in order to right the supposed Afrocentirc wrongs and injustices he believes America has been and is perpetrating on blacks in this country!

The man is a menace to society and to our very way of life. Someone had better get this to McCain and they had better turn it into hard hitting ads against him ASAP, before it is too late.

People better buy what they want now because once Obama is elected he will tell people what they will drive, how much internet they can use, what kind of food they can eat, what kind of TV they can watch, etc. If you saved enough for a $30,000 car he will tell you that because Baby Mama ain't got no car you will have to settle for a $15,000 car and Baby Mama gets a $15,000 car.

Here’s your nice little October surprise. Run excerpts of this 24/7. Pass this along to everyone - especially BEFORE YouTube takes it down.

Where has the MSM been. Is this not the investigative type of work they should have done to uncover?

"Constitution...fundamental problems... deep flaws...enormous blind spot"

Sounds like a guy who could care less about eligibility requirements of President in the US Constitution, and is willing to suck in $600M+ just to make an academic point. Very sad we've come to that in this country. The really sad thing is he may be sitting in the WH in a few months. May God be with us!

McCain and Palin themselves need to pounce on this, or the MSM will ignore it.

It Should Come As No Surprise
Jennifer Rubin - 10.27.2008 - 8:00 AM

Much of the blogosphere is buzzing over a 2001 radio interview in which Barack Obama seems genuinely chagrined that redistributionist policies aren’t going to come from the courts. ( Ignore the captioning on the Youtube which is distracting and not altogether accurate — just listen carefully to Obama’s exact language or read the transcript.) I had a few reactions.

First, a person often identified for the Obama Supreme Court actually does believe in an extreme version of the Constitution, a version which confers all sorts of economic “rights,” so I’m not sure even his supposed caution about using the courts as welfare agencies is to be given credence. Second, it is fairly obvious that Obama was saying nothing extraordinary in his own mind. This is the sort of thing left-leaning “intellectuals” bandied about. It’s the outlook that underscored the bent of not just his closest comrades at the time ( e.g. Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger), but the activist organizations he and Bill Ayers supported through the Woods Fund. It is absurd, really, to write off all these associations as an aberration or exaggeration, or to ignore them as some imagining of paranoid conservatives. What comes through loud and clear was that Obama shared the classic anti-capitalist, redistributionist philosophy accepted as dogma by many on the Left.

Remember, this isn’t ancient history. Obama was sharing Socialism 101 with radio listeners just seven years ago. At the same time, he was sitting on the board of the Woods Fund, going to Trinity United Church, and a enjoying a robust professional relationship with Bill Ayers. Has he given all that up? We don’t know, because no one in the media has taken seriously Obama’s intellectual and professional development. No one has asked him basic questions about the past (e.g. Did he share the ideological vision of the Woods Fund grant recipients? Did he agree with Ayers’ radical educational theory?) or even his current economic philosophy. Doesn’t he still believe in spreading the wealth? He certainly did seven years ago.

“The Constitution reflects deep flaws in American culture ... the Constitution reflected enormous blind spot of those days which continues to this day...”

Heil Obamunism!

Seig Heil!!!

Just a big thanks to everyone for finding and getting this out. I hope everyone from Rush, FOX, Drudge to the McCain campaign will tear into this.
