Sen. Obama has complained recently that he is being called a socialist.
In fact, he joked that the McCain camp might call him a communist because he used to share his peanut butter sandwiches in elementary school.
Of course, the senator cannot be accused of being a communist because he shared sandwiches during his elementary school years. A true communist would not share the sandwiches but instead would confiscate all the sandwiches in the lunch room for distribution among the party members.
In order to remain politically correct, I will use the "duck" instead of "socialist" so as not to offend anyone.
It is clear that Obama quacks like a duck. His off-the-cuff reply to Joe the plumber, noting that his planned tax increases are aimed at "sharing the wealth," is a classic duck line that comes directly out of duck policy. Karl Marx wrote the book on duck politics and redistribution of wealth is a primary duck goal.
Obama has also not made it clear what level he intends to reach into our pockets. One statement is $250,000 and another is $200,000 and another by his duck-like VP running mate puts it at $150,000. Still, close examination of his duck plans show that even people making between $25,000 and $40,000 a year will get hit with higher taxes.

Oh wow...and this is coming from Newsweek...
Socialism is just marxism with a smiley face.
Not a chance.
OOOPPPs. Newsmax....
Wrong. Barack Obama is a pure Marxist/Leninist/Communist.
My bad - 33 1/3% of each. And he’s “bi-racial” too, so that works out to, well, run the numbers yourself.
Why, does the truth hurt?
... If it walks like a duck... talks like a duck... it’s probably a duck!
STE=Q
If you were a socialist, why wouldn’t you be proud of it?
Its not a mystery. He is, the people backing him are, and whether they know it or not, the people voting for him are.
Actually, a good case could be made that he’s fascist, which of course is just a subset of socialist, but of course that really would hurt their feelings. Its generally understood to be a pejorative. But technically speaking, he is. Both in the neutral meaning of the term, and its starting to look like he is even in the pejorative meaning as well.
If Obama has nothing to hide, then what do you believe is the reason he refuses to release his birth certificate?
Right on the money.
Amazing << Hear this.
