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.
