Obama is not a true Socialist, not according to the tenets of the American Socialist Party. But he does seem to be a "State Socialist" in a similar vein to those who ran the Soviet Union into collapse over the course of a few short decades. It's an issue of definition and semantics rather than an issue of fundamental values, and the argument is truly immaterial since neither side can - or wants to - truly claim that Obama espousing beliefs that even vaguely coincide with American values. thekillerj,

It's not a binary toggle (XOR) though: -- 90%+ of all mutations are lethal -- The Laws of Entropy state that all things move from a higher-ordered state to a lower ordered state - chaos. So Obama can be the harbinger of change and doom. ;) You’re quite welcome, TheTighe – and thank you for stopping by and commenting.

Obama isn't the harbinger of change, but rather doom for our economy. Wake up and smell the coffee, people! Socialism is right around the corner if we don't do something now.
