The video says not available to me. Assuming it is the same video that has been making the rounds about Obama's statements about the courts and redistribution, I'm completely baffled why he said anything radical. A variety of blogs seem to be reading in between the lines. Even with the odd editing, Obama is simply restating a common argument that courts were a trap for civil rights groups (see The Hollow Hope). And he stated that civil rights groups failed in many ways. Nowhere did he advocate a normative argument for redistribution through the courts. Drudge started this strange interpretation, but I just don't get it.
If you actually posted a different video, then ignore my comments.
