Obama in 1998: “I Actually Believe in Redistribution”

At an October 19, 1998 conference at Loyola University, Barack Obama spoke against “propaganda” that said government doesn’t work and the need to “pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution.”

    He needs to just say “I beleive in communism, the US Constitution is outdated” and be done with it. Now with the NDAA passed watch the phantom FEMA camps start to fill up.

    Who didn’t know this? Only the fools who have not paid attention in the last 4 years. I am growing very impatient with people like a friend of mine who is going to vote for
    Obama because she knows of someone who lives in Canada who likes their healthcare. Are you kidding me??

      Are you kidding us… you mean?
      What folks do not get about Obama is all the free stuff is short term Vote grabs. The end result is not Canada but rather better look at Cuba or Russia two level societies.

      Tell your friend to read up on Black Social Justice and Third Reich 1930′s recover plan…Canada has a moderate over Taxed Middle Class stil.

      Come first day of second term, no longer needing votes… Heir Barack no longer needs to lie…and the Take Over is believed in his mind legally clandestine. As did Heir Uncle Adolf…

    He believes in redistribution of your wealth not his. Look at his and Bidens income tax returns they give next to nothing to chairty and also look what type of charity that Obama supports. If he really believed in redistribution of wealth he would not be so stingy with his. This is like him saying that people making a good living should realize when they had made enough. You don’t see him turning down money. DO YOU????

    Tell Obama, I’m still waiting for him to send me a million dollars, that will leave him 30r 4 million. If he will do that, then i will believe in redistribution ; hankthetank

    this reject is obviously no genius no christian not transparent not a good or even satisfactory fit for president- not even a USA citizen this parasite is an invader-little green men from mars could have done a light years ahead job of fixing our economic crisis any of those illegal mexicans could have surpassed obama had they been given the same conspiracy cover that BORAX got -amazing aint the word to describe it DISGUSTING is a perfect match-this freak mutant mulatto has gotten a free ride and CLEARLY he does not and never did deserve to be senator and worse for us president.He calls redistribution good many gun owners would love to demonstrate in lead just what they think of theft and paying this crook is government waste.Romney should lay it all on the line and say that he will reveal all of obama’s hidden records when he gets elected president and prosecute him to the maximum- that will get a standing ovation

    Government is Not the answer to everything.
    Redistribution of Wealth is not the answer to ending poverty.
    If I worked hard and made something of myself, I would like to be able to spend my money as I want to. If I want to donate to a Charity, I will. But Don’t Tell Me I have to give up half my money so someone can stay on Welfare, get free day-care, free pre-school, free job training and food stamps with no responsibility to pay it back so others might benefit. I do NOT want My Hard Earned Dollars to go to Someone who Makes Bad Choices.

    Of course he supports and promotes “redistribution”. As long as it’s somebody elses money.

    It’s amazing to me to listen to 8 and a half minutes of someone talking, or rather talking to hear himself talk. Can anyone fill me in on what the point was that he was trying to make. I may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but for the life of me, he speaks and has a good command of the language, but he doesn’t say anything! Please, help me out here.
