Obama, a socialist? As if...

[misanthrope]

...A card carrying socialist laughs at the accusation, saying that not only is the president not a socialist, he's not much of liberal either.

[cali]

1. yawn. yes, yes

Obama is nothing but a corpo-fascist pig. blah, blah, blah. And he certainly never claimed to be a socialist.

4. If you'd read the article

you'd see that part of it's point was not to critize Obama but to disupute the right wing meme that he is a Socialist. Just becasuse it accurately points out that Obama is not a Socialist nor a liberal is not an insult to him.

6. Ssshhhhh, you're spoiling the poster's fun...

...Why let a little thing like comprehension get in the way?

11. !

:evilgrin: Must Not Criticize Obama Ever!

9. Sorry, I read the article earlier when it was posted in GDP

and the poster wasn't too lazy to actually excerpt from said article. And I disagree with the author that Obama isn't a liberal. I think he essentially is.

10. Because clicking a link is strenuous**nm

15. Just because you don't agree with the author doesn't mean

the author is slamming Obama or that the author is wrong. It's his opinion that Obama isn't a liberal - a lot of us have that opinion. In fact, I wonder how far right a person has to be think Obama is anything but a centrist.

2. as a card carrying Cylon I can also tell you he is definitely NOT

a skin job, although he does dance like one a few servos short of a full pas-de-bourree.

3. Could he be a hybrid, though?

5. If he were, I'd have been a whole lot happier voting for him. eom

7. aint that the truth.

you and me both ;)

i always tell anybody that i come into contact with who are throwing around the world socialist...

'im a socialist, buddy, and hes no socialist... but i wish he was.'
heh

[paulsby]

14. i'm with you

except i would never have voted for him if he was a socialist.

which he CLEARLY isn't.

8. If only he were..sigh.

[old mark]

12. Right, like Bush was a capitalist....rather than a criminal.

I don't care if Obama is Karl Marx - he is doing a very necessary, complex, dirty job very well.

13. If he was a socialist, his political career would have ended before it began.

[dflprincess]

16. Like Bernie Sanders?

I think if the public paid more attention, there would be a lot of Socialists in Congress.

[killbotfactory]

17. Well, that's one.

For 99% of the country, you are either a democrat or republican if you want to be a politician, and socialists aren't welcome in either party.

Public attention would help, but the system is effectively rigged towards having only two relevant political parties.

18. We need to find out why people in Vermont seem to be smarter

and apply whatever is found to the rest of the country.
