Barack Obama believes in redistribution of wealth, and claims that it is not socialism. But most of us think it is. Obama has always believed in redistribution of wealth, as indicated from this 2001 interview.

The US Constitution puts limits on the taking of private property by the government. Obama clearly dosn't like that partof the Constitution. In fact, based on his comments, he doesn't like much about it, and would like to get rid of it. At least, he would like it "re-interpreted in modern terms."
