Obama is a social Democrat, which means he supports the kind of welfare state with power highly centralized in the elites that we find in western Europe. Except among the blacks, the feminists, the academics, the government workers, the gays, and the Jews. he has no real base.
“Obama is a social Democrat...”
Yes. And it’s worth recalling that the Lenin’s Bolsheviks sprang from the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party.
European social-democratic and labor parties are explicitly and unabashedly socialist. Barack won’t call himself a socialist and MSM opinion leaders criticize anybody who makes such an assertion because Americans think that they do not like socialism.
