So would it be that those who argue it is not intentional are calling Obama a liar in his books?

If Obama were a Socialist-Marxist, he would oppose private property and capitalist markets. He does neither. Call me when you see Obama closing down Wall Street and abolishing the possession of private property.

In the mid 1990s he was a member of a Chicago Socialist organization.

American Thinker Blog: Archives prove Obama was a New Party member (updated)
Barack Obama entered electoral politics as a member of a radical marxist group aimed at gaining control of the Democratic Party in order to implement a hardline version of socialism in America. He signed a contract promising to maintain a visible relationship.
New Ground 42 - Chicago Democratic Socialists of America
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia's District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer's vacant seat.
Although ACORN and SEIU Local 880 were the harbingers of the NP there was a strong presence of CoC and DSA (15% DSA).

His Policies.
His appointments to Cabinet Points.
His SCOTUS appointments of Sotomayor and Kagan.
His choice of friends.
His actually words.
Please compare and or contrast
His Policies
His appointments to cabinet points
His Scotus appointments
His choice of friends
His actually words

to Socialist, Islamist and Marxist leaders or thought, current or historical. This will encourage scholarly, intelligent and informed responses to your post, or perhaps that was not your intention?

Yep. And ALL THAT INFO was freely available before, during, and after the election. And somehow all of you libs knew nothing about Obama being a socialist?

I had never heard of him before the Primaries. So I did some
research on the internet. Then, I saw where he had 'written'
two books. So, I read some of the exerpts of the books, and
did some looking into his past. I like to be an informed voter.

Wow, I thought he was a racist, and a Communist. And I kept
noticing he never talked about what he was 'specificly' going
to do. He just kept repeating certain mantras, over and over.
Change. He was fundamentally going to 'change' America.

I couldn't believe he was receiving so much support, when he
had little or no experience. I am still at a loss what people
find so great about him.

It is like that old saying;
You can't confuse me with the facts, I have already made
up my mind.

I think he's a fake or partial socialist. His policies have benefited many big corporations and special interest groups, who are big doners during his campaign.
