Here's a quote from the article since I know most of you won't even bother to read it before posting some smart-ass remark.
Quote:
"Socialized health care" is on its way. The "socialist agenda" is taking over America. And best of all, Barack Obama, a "committed socialist ideologue," is in the Oval Office.
But Wharton, co-chair of the Socialist Party USA, sees no reason to celebrate. He's seen people with bumper stickers and placards that call Obama a socialist, and he has a message for them: Obama isn't a socialist. He's not even a liberal.
"We didn't see a great victory with the election of Barack Obama," Wharton says, " and we certainly didn't see our agenda move from the streets to the White House." Are many Americans secret socialists?
Obama's opponents have long described him as a socialist. But what do actual socialists think about Obama? Not much, says Wharton.
"He's the president whose main goal is to protect the wealth of the richest 5 percent of Americans."
He and others say the assertion that Obama is a socialist is absurd.
"It makes no rational sense. It clearly means that people don't understand what socialism is."
I personally do not believe Obama is a saint, nor do I agree with a lot of what he is doing, but it's pretty embarassing what his critics try to say about him.
It's funny how people are such hotheads when it comes to politics yet the vast majority have absolutely no idea what they are taking about.
Okay, I asked the only actual "card carrying socialist" that I know if Obama is "one of them." After she quit laughing she said that she thinks he is secretly a Repubican because she thinks he is more or less just carrying on where Bush left off.

One doesn't have to work too hard to find out that Obama was one of the members of the New Socialists (or whatever they called themselves) not too many years ago. There was even a picture of him, along with the other new members. What more proof do we need? His picture with this group was all over the net, not too many months ago. Do you think he has changed his mind? Doubtful.

WHAT does that mean? More of those conspiracy theories?
