The tape recording of an interview that Barack Obama gave to Radio Station WBEZ in Chicago in 2001 surfaced, and in that interview Mr. Obama, then a law professor and a state senator, lays out how he would redistribute the wealth. He sounds like a man with a plan. ....
Mr. Obama doesn't think much of the Constitution, or even of the Supreme Court justices who have rewritten it over the years to accommodate notions of "social justice." The Warren Court, which wrote finis to public-school segregation with its unanimous Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, has been decried since as radical, but it wasn't radical enough. Earl Warren only pretended to be a soldier of the revolution.
One of the "tragedies of the civil-rights movement," Mr. Obama says, is that the Supreme Court did not address redistribution of wealth, probably because of the inherent difficulty of achieving such goals through the courts. The Supreme Court did not break from the restraints of the Constitution and "we still suffer from that." Mr. Obama is not "optimistic" that the Supreme Court can achieve redistribution of wealth - of taking from the workers to give to the deadbeats - but he obviously thinks he knows how to do it. A president with a compliant Congress, which he expects to be in January, can do it through legislation and "administration."
The Barack Obama of this interview clearly does not think much of what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us: "The Constitution reflected the enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on to this day. The framers had that same blind spot ... the fundamental flaw of this country."

Like many of us have been saying for months and months: Heeeees a commieeeee.
People are not listening; They have already made up their mind.
Half the country is Commie now, they could not care less he is one also. Even if he loses this election, I fear for our country.
Not so, in the IBD TIPP poll, undecideds are still running at 10% of the electorate.
I don’t think so. Lots of undecideds in almost every poll. They’ll break for McCain as it is, but with this scary socialism stuff they’ll run away from Barry (just happens that McCain is the only other viable candidate).
I hope you both are right. That being said, we should keep pushing the story!
LOL, people aren’t listening because they understand ZERO about tax rates, economy, the Constitution, the SC, socialism, or capitalism.
They vote for who offers gov goodies, and who gets the best press.
Simple really.
Where was McCain?
“Communist” is an effective charge.
It has the advantage of being true.
McCain just drools and preens.
With 7 days to go, this is a boost for the fact that Obama intends to steal people’s money, and give away to buy votes.
Why is it that Democrats seem to have the most problems with the Constitution?
Yes, I know the standard answers, but bear with me. Are not liberals usually the ones who are so concerned about everyone’s constitutional rights? It’s always the left who worries that someone’s rights are being infringed, usually in some contorted, strained context.
Here we are, supposed to be worried about Bushitler listening in on calls originating into or out of Afghanistan (as if there couldn’t possibly be a national security interest in doing so), and apparently the leftist presidential nominee has a problem with the central f-ing concept of the Constitution as a limit on governmental power. WTH?
Lest we forget that President Wilson thought the Constitution was outdated 90 years ago and unnecessarily limited the power of the president. Ditto for FDR.
Every leftist professes love for the Consitution and bemoans threats to it, while at the same time essentially denouncing it as an antiquated document for which allegiance to it signifies membership in the John Birch Society.
Libbies are friggin’ schizo about the Constitution. Obama is no different.
You’re exactly right. People have made up their minds. No one cares. You’d have to have film of him killing Jimmy Hoffa at this point. Absent a comet strike, or something like the above, no game changers. Doesn’t necessarily mean McCain will lose, but, well . . . you are correct. The “socialist” stuff is falling on deaf ears and a waste of time. But, I suppose, with so little time left it’s all McCain has.
CAREFUL!!!

When I clicked on it it came up with all sorts of pop-ups and offers to download spyware software...
The Obama campaign is giving some lame excuse about the opinions on a legal point by a professor do not equate with the policies of a politician and the mainstream media is supporting the explanation. The same argument didn’t go over too well when Robert Bork was making the same point but apparently times have changed.
You’d have to have film of him killing Jimmy Hoffa at this point.

They would say Hoffa must have deserved it.
Info bump.
Same here. I click on the link and crap started downloading on my computer.
LOL Well said.
Where do you people get your information? Both McCain and Palin called Obama’s policies socialist today in their speeches.
