Is Obama a Socialist?

[MMI]

It is my perception that the centre has moved some way to the right in recent decades from where it used to be. It's not hard right, so as to include movements like Aryan Nations or the KKK, but it does enable the Democrats to claim to be liberals ... Only in America - lol, and here we witness the inglorious spectacle of a leftwards-leaning party prostituting itself with the Tories just so that it can get a taste of power.

Does anyone disagree with the term "prostituting itself" concerning what the Liberals are doing?

Obama's a Democrat ...perhaps he had no better option when he decided what his politics were, but I would expect him to stand well to the right of the most "moderate" social democratic party. With significant public shareholdiongs in the US banking system, and the timid beginnings of a public health service, there are hopeful signs to be seen.
