Obama saw welfare recipients and the working poor in Chicago as a “majority coalition” who could be leveraged politically

Comments:2 Comments


Obama is also heard lamenting Americans’ distrust of “government action”; identifying his political opponents — that is, Republicans — as “the bad guys”; declaring his support for labor unions and community organizers; endorsing the public financing of political campaigns; and staking out liberal positions on gun control, government-run health care and welfare reform.

In the video that has been obtained of obama speaking in 1998, it is very telling that he is in full support of redistribution, but there is more, the video goes on with obama saying that the poor on welfare can be harnessed in a voting block. At one point on the tape he suggests that the “working poor” on welfare are a political voting bloc that can be harnessed.
