Obama's Brave New Deal: A Preview

October 27, 2008 Posted by Scott at 5:47 AM

Many readers have written to alert us to the audio of Senator Obama's reflections on, and advocacy of, the redistribution of wealth in this vintage 2001 audio clip. Underlying Obama's remarks is his hostility to the constitutional protections of property that I wrote about in "Obama, Joe the plumber, and the gospel of envy." Based on the audio, one must conclude that Obama has thought long about the subject and seriously about the project.

UPDATE: In "Shame, cubed," Bill Whittle comments on this revelation of Obama's stated views.
