No.
no.
This thought is a good window into Obama
Obama in his interview disparages the Constitution as merely "a charter of negative liberties. It 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." He believes—and he's right—that changing this is the way to bring about "redistributive change."
This is a pretty clear statement in favor of the collectivism of governmental planning and control.
That's an opinion piece, CoH. I can find you a million of those that paint Trump as a fascist and an abject racist based on his out of context quotes. "Disparages" "merely" Come on, you can see that.
Obama was a garden variety liberal who thought the market was a great force, but sometimes produced unfair outcomes that govt. should regulate to make life better for the middle class and poor. He also, ala a garden variety liberal, believed in a degree of redistribution of wealth. He was justifying his positions, typically, with pretty standard communitarian ideas and language, which was new on the political scene, although Hillary had it too (it takes a village).
