Tape of a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview with Barack Obama surfaced today. In the interview, Obama lamented that the Supreme Court did not intervene to redistribute wealth during the civil rights movement.
The Obama campaign reacted to the release of the radio interview by issuing this statement:
"This is a fake news controversy drummed up by the all too common alliance of FOX News, The Drudge Report and John McCain, who apparently decided to close out his campaign with the same false, desperate attacks that have failed for months."
This is a case of changing the subject, or trying to. Obama said it –not FOX News, not The Drudge Report and not Sen. John McCain. In light of Obama’s much more recent comment to Joe the Plumber he clearly believes in taking money from people who have earned it and giving it to people who didn’t.
His defense is no defense at all, but a sleight of hand. Obama is being dishonest about his true intentions. That gets to character and tells us that his is flawed.
