The actual radio interview has been edited. While I have not heard the original, listenters can hear at least two edit points in this recording. Also, the text captions (applied by file-creator, not by WBEZ) do not accurately reflect what Obama was saying.

At no point does Obama say government should actively redistribute wealth. What he does say is that much of the civil rights movement put its energies into legal battles and neglected grassroots economic development. In this instance, think of your local chamber of commerce as a "coalition of power".

Take it from someone who lives in a partially socialized nation-state (Canada), Obama is no where near Marxism or socialism.

If anything, the pattern of disinformation and outright lies coming from the McCain camp is closer to the behaviour we witnessed from repressive Soviet and communist regimes.

The smearily edited radio spot ends with a video of "Joe the Plumber"!  LMAO!  At least the commies were good at it. The Republican effort is sort of embarrassing eh?
