His core is Anti-American. I can even get a grip on his “redistribution of wealth” crap. But put that terminology away and it gets even worse in my opinion, and is much more encompassing than just money:

“But the Supreme Court never ventured into the...sort of more basic issues.... it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution...... 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.”

Notice how Obama uses the term Negative Liberties. Not “RIGHTS” - but Negative Liberties. Using the word negative implies a bad thing. (Which of course in Obama’s thinking it IS a negative.)

In other words the country was flawed for not giving the poor rights to middle class wealth. The rights in the BOR are just useful to privileged white people If you read between the lines.
