If the Shoe fits….
I am honestly confused. Why is it not permissible for us to call President Obama a socialist? Why do so many with a media platform dodge the question when asked point-blank if Obama is a socialist?
While obviously expected from those in the mainstream media who look upon Obama as an oracle,it’s disappointing and disingenuous when Republican “leaders” refuse to describe the president as a socialist.
Maybe some in the GOP and the mainstream media simply don’t know or understand the definition. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “socialism” as:“Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods”
Even with the broadest of interpretations,Obama’s beliefs seem to fall within that definition.
The reason the president recoils from the words “socialist” and “ideologue” is the same reason certain Republican politicians refuse to define him by those names:Political self-interest and survival. It’s the same reason the far-left duplicitously runs from the word “liberal” and now substitutes “progressive.”

If the facts and the law are not in your favor,try to discredit the opposition. See the Alinsky Rules.
amen. but he is even more than a socialist,he's a marxist/communist. otherwise why would he have so many self avowed communists in his regime. his parents and grandparents as well as his mentor were communists. his policies are communist. so calling him a socialist is soft pedaling his political stance. i don't watch o'reilly very often but i caught him one evening debating himself about whether obamao is a socialist. first he says socialists believe in distribution of wealth which obamao told joe the plumber he is in favor of,but then o'says there is no proof obamao is a socialist. what an idiot. but i guess since fox was bought into by a saudi prince you can't insult a muslim,socialist or not.
REMEMBER WE COULD NOT USE THE ANNOITED ONE'S MI9DDLE NAME
OR EXPECT HIM TO PRODUCE HIS OFFICIAL RECORDS…UNIVERSITY,
COLLEGE,HIGH SCHOOL,ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,HONORS…….IF ANY???
EVER EARNED!
Why do we fear labeling the incompetent White House ayatollah for what he si –a Communist mulsim even though the two twerms may be incompatible but everything in Obama is incompatible with reality. And how has Obama managed to cover up for the jihadist mass murderer Hassan who presumably lives in luxury in a hospital,receiving the best Obama-type health care of which Obama wishes to deprive the Average American. try Hassan now in a military court and presumably if found guilty execute him promptly. This would save the taxpayers a fortune in medical expenses for Hassan and help balance the budget which Obama seeks to unbalance.
What do you mean "That by definition of SOCIALISM "Obamas beliefs seem to fall under the catagory of "Socialism?"There is no "SEEM"about it! He is "dfinitely"a Socialist! So was Bill Clinton! Those on the extreme LEFT of the Politixcal Spectrum,from the President on down,who support Big Government Control,are Socialists because of their following beliefs. (Or Agendas.) That is ,they sponsor programs that redistribute the wealth,legislate equality even when it is physically impossible,attempt to regulate everything in life thru Federal Law and regulations,and attempt to control the population through a quagmire of very restrictive taxes,Social programs and mandates. FEMA and MARTIAL LAW has been put in place specifically for the purpose of permanent Government Control. Also,why else would anyone in their right mind spend Billions of Dollars on illegal people pouring into our country who have no form of income to support their large families? Our "so called"entitlements are SOCIALIST measures to ruin our country completely so that Socialism is the only way out.

You could not have said it better. Buying votes,unions,extended government,high taxes,regulations,etc. are just ways to insure our slavery to the government "leaders". We as a society are living Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.. It is truly scarry!!
Read chapter 10 of the USSR Constitution (obama's script) and you will see that he conforms to the definition of "socialist"to the letter.
Incidently,this is the DFL's party platform almost word for word.
IMPEACHMENT IS TOO GOOD FOR "OOO"!
