No, no, no, no..... Mr. Jackson (son of the fine Rev. Jessie Jackson) is just parroting the Communist in Chief's contention regarding our Constitution.

From a 2001 interview on Chicago's public radio station WBEZ FM Obama says (emphasis added):  

   If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I'd be OK.  But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.

Those essential constraints are just that...essential.

We don't need added constitutional sanction of government running the private sector.  Nope, that just stomps on the concept of limited government and legitimizes socialism.  I'll pass.
