The President Must Realize The "Socialist" Questions Are Fair

Maybe Obama doesn't officially belong to the Socialist party (right now), but he has associated with them in the past. http://www.suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2008/10/obama-was-a-soc.html So it's not so much a question as a statement. And let's face it, it's the American people who should have taken it more seriously during the election.

If a child has a better life as a result of an extension of intent for such ? What does it matter the means - whether socialism or capitalism ? Ultimately ? I suppose people prefer to say- hey let's do capitalism 100% and those winners - like Buffett and Gates - will both go philanthropic. This perhaps IS the model for capitalism. I never understand when people go off on socialism/capitalism - we're all gonna be hit be some trans-neptunian asteroid anyhoo - just a matter of difference I suppose what ideal you want to hang onto before diamonds from coal in 0.1119 seconds on impact. That capitalism can be polluted BY such decadent trade tokens AS diamonds made from meteor implosions ? I guess Capitalism never added the intelligence that all known matter, including GOLD - comes from exploding stars. Perhaps the Egyptians had something with worshiping the sun. I wonder whether the Pyramids were a socialism project. I suppose it would be an honor to actually experience real - sun exploded generated GOLD from the Egyptians in hand.... just to think- which star blew up to produce THIS potential for a post barter system ?

Obama is not doing what he feels is best for the country. He's sticking his thumb in the eye of everyone who disagrees with his radicial agenda. Why would the same big-government nonsense he was pitching during the campaign, suddenly also be the magical solution to all of our current economic problems? Remember, "never let a crisis go to waste"! He's using the economic difficulties as a cover for massive, crushing, permanent entitlements and massive government spending.

Was Obama not a member of congress during "their" watch, therefore he would have been part of "their" watch? Didn't Obama vote in favor of the Prescription Drug plan? The finger pointing needs to stop on both sides as both sides are equally guilty in their contributions to this economic mess. While I am not a fan of Obama, I hope his adminstration is able to get our economy back on track, but at this early stage, the lack of transparency, the campaing promises already broken (ie. transparency, pork spending and no lobbyists, etc.) and the absurd amount of taxpayers money being spent sure does make me skeptical. The whole blame game has begun to take on an almost childish feel. It's like nanny, nanny, boo, boo , we won the election so we can do it our way. Stop blaming each other and fix your mess, all of them!

If the majority of people are in favor of national health care coverage of some sensible type that actually controls costs, and if they then vote for people who pledge to enact what they want, how is that socialism? Is it only democracy if people vote to leave the control of their health to the corporations that get rich off of their suffering? Strange logic, if that is the republican position.

You can dress him up, but he's still what he is. Impeach now.

Calling the Presidnt a socialist is better left to devisive souls like Rush Limbaugh. Those sorts of labels are not helpful to the discourse on the very difficult issues at hand.

Just because Bush was doing it does NOT mean that it was not socialistic. Obviously, with his high spending and social welfare spending programs, Bush is a socialist too.

This president is the worst in my life time. All he does is blame someone else for the mess. doesn't he remember he was one of the congressman who ALSO created this mess? Does he think the whole of America is as stupid as the sheep that believe every word that comes out of his mouth. He is still in constant campain mode! still always saying he wants to be bipartisan, but reminding those who offer another view that HE won. He is a BIG mistake and driving this country to Castro Chavez like goverments.

Agreed. He also better stop ignoring the stock market and the destruction his policies are doing to our 401ks. There is so much anger about the Trojan horse of socialism that his stimulus package and budget bill is, as well as the losses in our 401ks since he took office. The biggest drop was the day he announced this new omnibus budget - another gigantic socialism spending bill filled with pork. It's outrageous and it is so dis-ingenious of him to try and excuse it. Every time he speaks, it's double talk and often times he contradicts what he is doing with his words. Many people will be fooled by his talk and not see the con job that his Stimulus, omnibus budget, and overall intentions are - high taxes, big government, dramatically increased government intervention in everything - essentially the loss of our American freedoms and independence by creating more people who must depened on teh governemnt by destroying our wealth. The world will be so happy, because finally the one economic powerhouse will be brought to it's knees and put on the same socialist, tax burdened, union laden playing field as them. Finally they wil be able to compete and the USA will lose. It's almost as if it's intentional, isn't it?

There is no question. We are going socialist at a rapid pace.

I believe a whole bunch of people bought Obama's books without reading them. If they had, they would know. He is a Socialist.
