Obama's "Redistributive Change"
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 9:57 AM
What's shocking isn't that Obama bemoaned the Supreme Court's unwillingness to impose "redistributive change" -- or even the fact that his statement that the Warren Court really wasn't terribly activist at all (although it's a chilling insight into his judicial philosophy and what we might expect in terms of nominees).

After all, after one learns that Obama Obama blamed 9/11 on a "failure of empathy," well, what do you expect?

What is shocking is that all this redistribution talk is coming to light only  now -- having been conveniently ignored by the press these many months.  How is it that "journalists" found time to contact Bridget McCain's friends on Facebook, but couldn't dig up this clip?

I'd be "embarrassed to be a journalist," too.

finally the curtain has fallen
And we see the wizard in all his glory.

Who is going to come up with the nationwide plan to spank the media when this is over? Maybe a re-education camp?

Blaming Obama for the sins of Bush
Leave it to Carol to simplify, ignorantly of course, Obama's sentiment about 9/11 - along with the hack she links to who claims that Obama suggested that food stamps were the antidote to the attacks. This is why the Right and the GOP and BUSH never fully understood what motivated the attacks on 9/11 - and really, this is why NOTHING was done to thwart those attacks. Remember, Bush and the GOP were the majority leadership 'on duty' on that fateful day.

Instead of understanding fully what was at the core of the attacks, we got hogwash from the GOP/Bush/McCain telling us that they "hated our freedoms" and to counter that hatred, first "go shopping" and then attack the one place al qaeda WASN'T and let the real perps run away, for whatever reason.

Let us not forget that bin Laden's stated goal was to bring America's economy to its knees, and to further foment the hatred in the middle east towards the US. Check, and check. Bush led us right into their trap - he attacked a sovereign nation that had virtually NOTHING to do with 9/11, he's engendered hatred toward us from Iran, when they were AGAINST the attacks and al qaeda, he's helped al qaeda recruit 7-fold from a band of reviled extremists to a force beyond bin Laden's wildest dreams.

For once, can't we PLEASE have a grown up in the WH? One who actually CONSIDERS the mindset of those who wish us ill, rather than inflaming that discord to annihilation and economic disaster - PLEASE?!

Redistribution ideals
This interview is disturbing in many ways. Aside from the fact that Barack Obama believes the Supreme Court should do more to redistribute wealth, it is more disturbing Obama's belief that the Constitution is restrictive in that effort is TRULY SCARY. This man has been allied with far left radicals his entire adult life, and know we have people ready to elect this man as President of the United States. I hope and pray we can wake people up before its too late.

Sarah!
I just watched Sarah on TV.
When I watch her and hear her speak, I see and hear a Pure, untainted woman that hasn't been taken in by dirty politics!
Her fight is to fight the dirty politics of Obama, not be a part of it!



Obama has learned the dirty side of politics and he lives it and is part of his campaign!


Sarah Loves her country and the people in it.

Pure Untainted Woman that believes in her Country!

She is Awesome!
God Has Blessed Sarah!

I would rather have the pure, and untainted, woman with Integrity woman in the office of VP

Than the Dirty Dems!

Shery
RE the re-education camps, Reagan's speeches should be played over and over to drive them out of their skulls. Poetic justice. Also they should be taught Supplyside Economics in classes.

Monkey Girl
You mean a grown-up who lies, cheats, and steals?
A grown-up who has his mistress banned to Martinique?
A grown-up with nothing to hide who will provide proof of his US citizenship?
You mean a grown up who wants to erode the US Constitution?
And as per usual Kimbat, you have brought BDS into this and it has nothing at all to do with the COW being elected.

Share the wealth
If the entire wealth in the USA was distributed equally to all of the population, in a period of 10 years the money wold be back to the original people who had it before it was distributed. The only thing that would be different would be the chaos the Obama caused the poor would be poor again the middle class would be middle class again and the wealthy would be wealthy once again. Its not not about the money its the people themselves doing what they normally do the ones with wit and drive would be wealthy again, the poor with lack of drive would be poor again, the more drive that one has the more they will earn.

Obama's agenda
We need to keep both eyes open with regard to Obama's illuminati, Marxist judicial agenda. He couldn't be clearer in stating what he believes, and this was not a rope-line, Joe-the-Plumber gaffe. He is for Big Government doing more for the "dispossessed." That means taking more from productive business owners and wage earners and giving it to the have-nots/do-nothings.
