Ron Paul: Barack Obama is Not a Socialist
NEW ORLEANSRepublicans and tea party activists are fond of accusing President Barack Obama of being a socialist, but today party gadfly Ron Paul said they had it wrong.
In the technical sense, in the economic definition, he is not a socialist, the Texas Republican said to a smattering of applause at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.
Hes a corporatist, Paul quickly added, meaning the president takes care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country.

The smattering of applause come from his hardcore followers. Ron Paul paid transportation and admission to the convention for 800 of his followers.

Like I said before, nutjob Ron Paul is somewhere between Ross Perot, and Aunt Clara on “Bewitched”...with maybe a touch of “Rainman” thrown in.

He is a socialist to say the least, more like a communist.

GM is currently majority-owned by the United States Government (and by the Canadian Crown). If that’s not socialism, there is no such thing on the face of the earth.

Obama is a facist. Under advisement of the fed and Treasury the gov bailed out the banks, then Obama took care of the unions by bailing out GM and Ford. Now he selects green companies and throttles energy companies. Passes Obamacare with insurance and drug company blessing after the public option was strickened from the bill. These corporations love it, federal mandate to buy their products!! When government, unions and selected industries coordinate economic policies that is called FACISM!!!!

According to Mussolini, corporatism is just another word for facism. It appears to me that Obama is a blend of socialistic, corporatist.
