A game-changer by Obama
Washington Times ^ | October 28, 2008 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 10/27/2008 9:15:23 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

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."

A Commie. A megalomaniac. A liar. A Satanist baby-killer.

The very fact that the Democrat Party—as a socialist, baby-killing, treasonous party—even exists is the result largely of the biggest, most fraudulent, most powerful, most godless, most socialist enterprise of all. And most Americans can’t see it, and it’s right under their nose: Government School.

Lazy left-wing moonbats would sell out the constitution for a piece of pie....

Agree!

And BTW, other than the markets being manipulated in the last 9 months on gas and the stock market, to push the election to the DEMS, the last 8 years were better for me and my family than the Clinton years!

How easily the American people loose perspective of what we all went through on 9/11 and still, for now, live in the BEST Country in the World!

Very true-like I say: All men may be created equal, but they don’t stay that way for very long.

For a close election like this one, it is a game changer. The Joe the Plumber exchange has been out there for about a month and this is all sinking into the electorate. It is creating doubt on Hussein.

The majority of undecideds (and moderates) will break for McCain.

McCain is running a campaign that is at least as effective as Bob Dole’s.
