More on Obama's opinion on the Constitution

Denis Keohane
Michael Ledeen at PJM reports on President Obama's Columbia college
thesis, of which ten whole pages were made available to Joe Klein. The
paper was entitled "Aristocracy Reborn," and Obama wrote this about
the Constitution:

"... the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does
not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow
for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a
cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even
mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them
liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy."


Goes along with this audio from 2001:

"constitution is a charter of negative liberties...doesn't say what
the federal government must do on your behalf..."
