The 'Socialism' attack on President Obama

[Vepres]

Obama's a liberal with socialist tendencies, but he is far from the stereotypical western European socialist. Sure, he's a socialist relative to our country's political center, but that isn't really that scary, unlike real socialism.

But those are all socialist ideas that society has come to accept and support in huge numbers. My point is that you either don't understand what socialism is, or you don't understand that socialism isn't automatically bad.

There is a difference between socialism and socialistic programs, I believe the OP was referring to the former. But I think this is a silly thread anyway.
