This bit by Obama advocating wealth redistribution was up at Drudge but I got my hint from Hill Buzz. One point that Hill Buzz makes is that the Obots have not shown up to contest this bit of history. Here is their theory:
Whenever Obama is in trouble, these people clam up.
The worse something is for Obama, the quieter his followers get.
It's how we gauge the impact of something around here.
Not a single Obamabot comment in the last hour. We'd usually have 30 of them in our spam filter in that hour.
I notice not a single reference to individual rights in this musing on making looting look legitimate.
Sure, he discussed civil rights, but that term refers to legislated privileges that can be rescinded at any time, hence the qualification of the word "right" by "civil." Such privileges are not inalienable rights on the level of life, liberty, and property.
These last two rights are routinely violated by our governing classes, especially by the self-styled progressive. The third may soon follow.

tim,
Worth repeating. Plus it bulks up the comment number.
