Obama calls for 'democracy with a small d'; Pushes society based on collectivism, 'common good' - YouTube Video

Wealth redistribution, collectivism, unions . . . no, he's definitely not a communist.

Obama urges society to collectively move “forward” – a word that would later serve as his 2012 campaign slogan.

Obama was speaking in an Aug. 11, 1995 interview pushing his just published book, “Dreams From My Father.” At the time, Obama was a community organizer planning to launch a political career.

But some how Mr. Peanut's grandson is unimpeachable as a source of "just uncovered" video.

Go figure.

Andrew Breitbart’s last words were “We’re gonna vet him this time”. Must be a lot more on whatever hard drive these came from.

When Rush said NBC wasn’t airing the redistribution audio until they could authenticate it, I thought immediately that it didn’t seem to stop them when they went all in with the Bush AWOL documents, despite the fact that they were clear forgeries.

Thanks to Buckhead, a Freeper, who figured out mere hours later that the circa 1970’s documents were done with a modern word processing app.
