NPR: Obama on Wealth Redistribution in 2001



Listen to him in his own words. This is not just an offhanded remark to "Joe the Plumber". This sounds a lot like socialism. Can the US afford Barack "The Spreader" Obama?

“…One of the, I think, 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 in some ways we still suffer from that.”


So, we "still suffer" from not having "redistributive change"? But, you'll fix that...right?
