If I knew that something was true and damaging to Obama...I wouldn't really be up for keeping it visible.
But when such garbage like the OP is recycled from 2008...I'm more than happy to keep the discussion going to see how far Obama haters will go to attempt to twist and distort the truth.
It's also a good example of how Obama haters contradict themselves and displays their gulibility for propaganda...evident by those in this thread who are afraid of words.

You are saying any form of taxation is socialism?
Any program that is paid with public money is a form of socialism.
Are you saying it is capitalism???

I admit it, I voted for Obama in '08.
I didn't believe in "Hope" nor "Change", but I did believe that electing McCain = war with Iran, and being in the military at that time and knowing the strain the wars were putting on my brothers and sisters in service.... I could not vote for a warmonger. My wife chides me with this still.
It wasn't until I started seeing Obama's cabinet choices.. and czars... that I began to worry that I had made a mistake. Granted, one vote means nothing, but I felt as if I had been duped. Not by his grandios speeches or rhetoric, but by the system that gave me the lesser of two evils option.
What I find remarkable is the amount of documentation, even novels written by the man himself, that show his leanings, and yet we have people who claim to be anti-Socialist willing to fight for this man. To me, this illustrates the problem with the two-party system... your choices are always 'bad' or 'worse'.
We need a legitimate third party to keep the Big Two in check... someone with more drive than Ron Paul. I like RP, but the problem with him is that he is too self-depricating, I wish he would stick to his guns with more seriousness.
Thanks for posting this, even more solid evidence that our current President is not what he claims to be.

It says he signed a "Candidate Contract"...not a "Membership Contract" like some are trying to pass off.
You believe what you want...you go ahead and fall for the "evil socialist" propaganda...I honestly don't care.
But I do love that this is what Obama haters are having to reduce their attacks to...it speaks volumes as to how desperate they are.
BTW...did you know this was all already discussed in 2008??? It failed then...it will fail now.

Baloney.
Firefighting, police , military... ALL of these things were in existence LONG before Marx ever scored his first vicarious kill.
Just because the word "socialism" wasn't defined yet doesn't mean that those do not fit into the definition.
Why are you so scared of the word "socialism"???
Are you less of an American if you admit that you use the socialist highway system or the socialist education system???

Care to show me where the capitalist system is concerned with my best interest?
What did I get out of the bailout of wall street and the banks? Nothing
You got another day when the money in your bank account and credit line was still available to you.
You got another day when there was bread and meat in the stores near your home.
You got another day when you didn't have to spend hours in line to get a block of government cheese.
What did I get out of the two wars the last capitalist president started? Nothing
You got 8 years where nobody every exploded a bomb in your neighborhood theater or pizza parlor.
You got 8 years where when your gas light went "on".....all you had to do was go to the first gas station and fill it up.....with perhaps a credit card issued by a bailed out institution.
What did I get out of the tax cuts that were given to the wealthy by the last capitalist president but excluded the poor and middle class? Nothing
47% of Americans of working age, pay ZERO income taxes.
Your buddy Barack says that everybody should pay their fair share. Paying ZERO dollars is not fair, no matter how much you earn.
I really don't see how capitalism has done me or anyone I know any good at all. A person would have to be blind to not see how unregulated capitalism has been a total failure in this country. The Mao comment was funny though maybe now it's time that you learn there are different types of socialism. You know like the ones that work.

And here comes another thread by "concerned citizens" Please, stop this nonsense. It's getting annoying. Jst admit You hate the guy on sight, and don't pretend to be against him on purely political grounds.
You have NO inkling what "socialist " means, You still live with Your head buried firmly in the "there's a Commie under your bed" mindset of the 50's.
I an SICK of the pretentious post that only prove ONE thing to me: A large swath of people do not like his colour.....
Threads like these are insulting, and a waste of space on a site that once was about the curious and the odd, but has transformed into a cess-pit of pure right-wing hatred and pathetic "tough-guy" talk about gun-law and state interference.
Let me be the stereo-typer from the other side, and state that ATS has been taken over by the most unpleasant, vile and stupid part of redneck America.
I am done here, after several years of membership I can only see one thing: There's no curing stupid and hate....
Toodles.

I really don't care if Romney is elected.
He was the least dangerous out of all the Republicans.
The biggest threat he posed was repealing Obamacare...but the SCOTUS will decide that. If the SCOTUS deems it constitutional, Romney will look bad trying to repeal it.
The difference between capitalism and socialism is that 4 letter word called work.

The warped view of Socialism in this thread is just sad.
I hope all of you will at some point educate yourselves about what Socialism is...preferably not from Fox News or Glenn Beck.
You should learn economic models from economist...not political commentators.
