OOOOhhhhh! "new" Obama video leaked, and Huff is ON IT!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/obama-loyola-speech-leaked-redistribution_n_1894625.html?1348003636&icid=maing-grid7|maing6|dl2|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D207411

Notice how Obama's "top-secret-Lindsey-flashed-the-paparazzi-at-the-Viper-Room-never-before-seen-exclusive-video" .....was recorded in 1998 at a public speech at a University, yet Mitt's speech was given behind private doors for big donors and not meant for mortal ears....and recorded during this campaign?

“The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some [wealth] redistribution -- because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody’s got a shot.”

A 14 year old video ... that mentions "some wealth distribution ... at a certain level to make sure that everybody’s got a shot." Basically, he's saying that everyone should pay their fair share so everyone has a chance to succeed ... which is exactly what he says today. How is this a problem?

Swing and a miss!

Horror of horrors! He was what, only 36 or 37 then? Please. Some politicians changed parties in 14 years. Mittens tape was in May of this year. Much more damaging.

not that I think this is damaging or anything, because I clearly don't.

Does the voice and intonations even sound like Obama? This is the first time I've heard this. Does anyone have proof that this is even him? I just can't imagine 14 years or so making that big of a difference in his intonations. He was already an adult, so I don't see how the voice can change that much. Some of the words I've heard him say before, true enough.

A younger Obama, but it's Obama.

And, I agree with every word he said.
