Is Obama a Socialist?

[steelish]

I honestly dont think he is transforming anything in as grave a matter as you are sugesting steelish.

Heck FDR was way more of a socialist and changed things way way more and faster than I think Obama ever will manage in todays quagmire of partisanship.

So FDR's first year in office he
*became President of two major American auto manufacturers?
*he seized control of an insurance giant?
*he lead America to a single payer healthcare system?
*he seized control of the Student Loan industry in order to 'cut out middle man'?
*he seized control in massive land grabs?
*he added trillions to the deficit in one fell swoop?

Remember this speech?
or how about this?
Hmmmmm...

I agree that we've had many Socialist Presidents who have "set the stage", but I believe Obama is doing more damage to America and doing it more quickly than ever before and I think it's time for Americans to stand up and take control of the country through the polling booths once again. For too long now we've simply voted for known names, popular names, etc. instead of voting with our heads and values.
