Sounds more like a Limbaughism.

Here's a radio interview with Obama, well maybe it's Limbaugh doing an impression, you decide.



OK, I just listened to it. Despite the sensationalist (and very inaccurate) over-screen caption, he did not say that "the constitution should have been radically reinterpreted to force redistribution of wealth for African Americans" as the caption states. That kind of Fox-style spin is horseshit, and should be repudiated. (And with all due respect, nor did he even imply that "the Constitution is an obstacle, just getting in the way of doing good.")

What he did say was that because the civil rights movement became so "court-oriented" in terms of operative tactics, that community organizing and grassroots groups that might have brought about redistributive change took a back seat, and became weakened; and that that weakening (of community-organized grassroots groups) has persisted over the long run.

Fascinating how the captions claim that he said something that he definitely did NOT say in the interview.

Nice try, but FAIL.

my point was that from the statement, apathy was inferred. Apathy is bad for this country.



The statement wasn't an example of apathy. The fact of the matter is that the judicial interpretation of the Constitution is the only one that carries any legal weight.



well those of us who know the difference between the words infer and imply know why I chose the word "inferred".



So, you're saying that you inferred something completely different from what I wrote. Fair enough.

it appears that way. I didn't want to say "you implied" because I was inferring a meaning from what you wrote. I don't want to assume I know what you're trying to say. I see others do taht here.
