Not even HE can deny it. Well, credibly that is.
Hey folks,
This is really too funny. I have been watching the media for the last three or four days now, attempting to cover up Obama's "Redistribution of wealth" or "Spread the wealth around" comment and attempt to tell you that this is NOT "Marxist."
I have seen some LAME attempts from some bloggers and even uh, YouTubers?? trying to explain that Obama never really said he was for it. {Laughing} Folks, I'm not sure who found this audio from a 2001 Radio interview Obama gave, but it really is great. This is Obama in his OWN words.
Folks, he just said,
"If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples so that, uh, I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and -- and as long as I could pay for it I'd be okay. But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.
As radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it has been interpreted -- and Warren Court interpreted it in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, 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. And that hasn't shifted, and one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused, uh, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change. And, uh, in some ways we still suffer from that."
Yes, those "essential constraints" so people like YOU, did not attempt to do away with the Constitution, or change it to fit what you want. "The Constitution is a charter of negative liberties" Yeah, like Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Like being FREE from Dictatorships, oppressive taxation and keeping personal Freedoms. Those must be the "negative liberties" he was talking about.
Then this. "It says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you." Which is the whole point. The whole reason for the Declaration of Independence. "But it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf." Because you are too stupid to know what is good for you. Because Redistribution of Wealth is unConstitutional, Obama wants to change that. He is not happy with that little annoying fact.
"Now, now, Pete. You can not say that. Besides, that was 2001. He wasn't running fro President then." Uh, YEAH. Debatable. But "Joe the Plumber" was just the other day. Obama LOWERED the bar this past Weekend. He said that you are now rich if you make $200,000. Not the magic $250,000. Remember I warned you about this. When will he decide those making $100,000 are rich? What about individuals? Remember he VOTED TO RISE TAXES on you if you made $42,000. SO?
One week from TODAY. Seven days folks. That's it. That's all the time we have left. If you love this country, you can not POSSIBLY vote for Obama. If you want Socialism, the NEW USSA, then by all means, Obama is your guy. Free Healthcare, free education. He'll even take those brats off your hands at age 4. You know, when their heads are REALLY full of mush and easily molded. He will take from you and give to those that never worked a day in their life. Why. It's fair. You do not need to make all that money. Let the Government take care of you. Don't worry about complaining about it either. You will LOVE it. There will be no voices of opposition. He will make sure that the local and nightly news tells you how much you love him and his programs. They will tell you just how great the new USSA really is. If this is what you want, go vote Obama in seven days.
