Obama In 2001: "Coalitions Of Power" Need To Be Formed To Redistribute Wealth, Warren Court Neglected "Economic Justice"

When Joe the Plumber hit the scene the NY Post blared about Obama's "Robin Hood Warning Shot." Looks like they might have undersold that. I don't want to say that Obama and Lenin might have even more in common than the textbooks about their "Life Of Service" to the people, but suffice to say that Michelle Obama probably isn't the only one who can quote Rules For Radicals from rote:

This is exactly what we need when the most prescient contemporary economist is predicting that the worst is year to come - because the economically disastrous protectionism that's already freaking out Europeans will be good for financial stability:

What does Roubini think is going to happen next? Rather worryingly, in London last Thursday he predicted that hundreds of hedge funds will go bust and stock markets may soon have to shut – perhaps for as long as a week – in order to stem the panic selling now sweeping the world. What happened? The next day trading was briefly stopped in New York and Moscow... Contacted in Madrid on Friday, Roubini said the world economy was "at a breaking point". He believes the stock markets are now "essentially in free fall" and “we are reaching the point of sheer panic".

In retrospect, the mere $800,000 that Obama's campaign's gave to ACORN doesn't seem like such a big deal.
