Bombshell: 2001 Obama Video On Redistributing Wealth

Written by: Uncle Seth The Noble on Monday, October 27th, 2008

As if Joe The Plummer hasn’t caused the Messiah enough problems. The Left may try and spin away from the socialist argument, but damn if the Lord and Savior ain’t making that a very difficult task.

This is Ed Morrissey’s take on the video…

People have assumed that Obama merely offered a rhetorical stumble, and Obama and Joe Biden have strenuously attacked anyone that claimed he intended to bring about radical socialist change. This sounds very much like socialism and radical change, and there is no mistaking the context of this statement. While Obama recognizes in this passage that the judiciary doesn’t have the “structure” to make radical changes to the Constitution, he doesn’t sound at all happy about it.

Instead, Obama sees community organizing as the essential path to move from a Constitution of personal liberties to a Constitution of federal mandates. He wants a new governing document that essentially forces both the federal and state governments to redistribute wealth, and he sees that as the natural outcome of the civil rights movement. That certainly smells of socialism on a far grander scale than ever attempted in the US, with the New Deal and Great Societies looking like pale imitations of Obama’s vision.

Mark Finklestein of NewsBusters weighs in on the media silence…

Imagine that a week before a presidential election, a radio interview surfaced in which the Republican candidate had called for, say, the abolition of Social Security. Now imagine the broadcast networks’ reaction to that nugget: “We interrupt regularly-scheduled programming for this Breaking News,” followed by 24/7 coverage with talking heads pondering the devastating impact on America’s seniors, the overall economy, the future of Western civilization, etc. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman would be booked from now till election day, offering his pained pronouncements.

Socialism = Messiah?
