“New Democrat.” So that’s what the kids are calling Marxism these days. How nice!

“I am a New Democrat,”

Comrades of old Bolsheviks.

He was misunderstood.

He didn’t say “I am a new democrat”.

He said, “I am a NUDE democrat”.

As in, this emprah ain’t got no clothes on, bro.

Socialist/Marxist/Communist Democrats are not new. They’ve been the norm for some time.

I am whatever I say I am whenever I say it.

I, Obama, have spoken.

And spoken.

And spoken.

(But watch what I do, not what I say.)

I think Bambi realizes that people are getting scared and even some of his adherents are having to acknowledge that he meant the things he said (about redistributing income, for example). The fact that a reporter asked him if he was a socialist - and that he was so unnerved by the question he actually called the NY Times to “explain” himself - indicates to me that he realizes that he may have been a little too overt in his program.

“White House officials stressed that Obama was not making any declarations, but rather pointing out that he was in sync with many of the group’s principles.”

Lookee thare...”Obama” and “principles” in the same sentence.

First he’s walking around telling everyone he’s Abraham Lincoln, then FDR, then Ronald Reagan...well, whatever. Anyone else would have been sent off to the funny farm by now.

Thinking of the Who Song with the lyrics, “Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss”.

I think what he meant is “I am a New *Party* member”
