Is Obama a Socialist?

[Lion]

I love your post Lion well said indeed sugar.

Though I do have to disagree about the last little bit, the part about foriegn policy and respect.

The respect thing has been up and down throughout history and one nation's idea of us doing something good, is allmost allways another one's idea of us doing something bad.

Obama talks a good talk but he doesn't nessesarally wlak that talk if you know what I mean. In my observations of his actions and results compared to what his promises and what comes out of his mouth in his speaches; he hasn't done a thing different imho than his predecessors were allready doing and had planned out when it comes down to the brass tacks.

Thanks

The respect part comes from my own personal experience, people I've talked to, etc. I guess it was a little presumptuous of me to generalize a larger population. I know as a Canadian, judging for media, surveys, and just talking to others here, we weren't particularly fond of Americans 2003-2008. It's changed a lot when Obama came to office, which is kinda odd since Canada actually benefits from the economic plans that Republicans have usually.

But yeah, your points are well taken, he is a lot of talk followed by a lot more talk.
