Does Obama Favor Reparations?

Does Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama favor reparations for slavery? His pastor, the now infamous Jeremiah Wright sure as hell does. Guilt by association, I know. But what to make of this Obama remark:

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S.
government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

If John McCain really wants to be president he ought to dig awhile in this gold mine of redistributionist pablum.
