The GOP is playing its tattered Obama is a closet socialist trump card again. The aim is to tar President Obama as a radical out to soak the rich, hamstring private business, and radically redistribute wealth downward to the poor.

He is a European style social democrat and obviously he has the progressive hankering for a parliamentary system.
Hasn't Obama publicly stated these goals...although I'd assume he didn't use the term hamstring, although that is the net effect.
A Marxist is insulted when you call him a socialist.

Closet Socialist ????
I would say, full blown Marxist/Communist,
and certainly OUT of the closet.
Truth hurts.
Fascist.
Nobody needs to tar Osama as a socialist, he's proving that fact on a daily basis.
Well yeah. Thats what he is doing. Duh.
How about this one:
"If You're Not Outraged, You're Not Paying TAXES."
Sound about right. That part about being a CLOSET socialist? Not hardly. He is in your face with it.

Hmm, well this pantload has it exactly right about Ubanga. ...I just hope he's right that the GOP will pull no punches in making sure normal, working, taxpaying Americans get the message loud and clear.

“If Obama were to become a major league pitcher, he would be the worst in history.... he would whine that its not fair that the batters keep advancing to the base on 4 balls, so Obama would demand that the rules be CHANGED so that he could appear as if he’s an All Star Pitcher. He would make the strike zone extend from the dirt to the top of the batter’s helmet, and when the ESPN clubhouse reporter asks him, “Do you really think its right to change the rules that have governed the game of baseball for over a century just to make it more ‘fair’ for the pitcher? You do realize, sir, that the pitcher is only one person playing in the game with 17 other players... right?” Obama would answer, “Now, look, I don’t think the fans come to the baseball rink to keep track of the ‘rules’. People come out here to see me, and to see other big leaguers. I understand that people like you sports reporters love to harp on the rules of the game, or the process by which the game is played, but I don’t think that is something the fans come to see. The fans want to come see me be as fair as possible and they come to watch everyone walk off the field a winner. No one even remembers who ‘wins’ the games....” ESPN reporter, “What do you have to say to those fans outside the park demanding that you restore the rules of the game and those who say that its the consistency of the rules that have made the game such an exestential part of Americana?” Obama, “Those are the same people who protested the idea of integrating the Negro League into the MLB. Those are voices of hate.” ESPN reporter, “Actually, sir, I see a group of diverse people out there and I believe that they are professing their LOVE for the game and that your rules change seems arbitrary and damaging.” Obama, “Like I said, they are racists. Trust me, if I say it, its true”

He Promised Change
. . . He Changed His Mind.
It wasn’t on this level, but I was up near the Massachusetts border in NY state several years ago, and there were several billboards about how Bush was killing American soldiers.
It was a real lib area, and full of natural types eating yogurt and growing organic, walking around in hippie clothes.
I remember thinking this is not a place I would ever move. And they sure wouldn’t want me. My Gadsden flag would probably send them into conniptions.
Ha. Earl Ofari Hutchinson is a bigger socialist than Obama.
No he doesn’t like hearing the truth. His response so far has been to scoff and respond with incredulity.
