Obama scoffs at people who call him a 'socialist': 'You gotta meet real socialists'
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 11/19/13 4:32 PM EST
President Obama on Tuesday dismissed critics who call him a "socialist," suggesting they meet some real socialists if they think he's one.
"People call me a socialist sometimes," he said at the Wall Street Journal CEO Summit, addressing 100 top business leaders.
"But, no, you gotta meet real socialists. You’ll have a sense of what a socialist is," he said to laughter from the crowd.
"I'm talking about lowering the corporate tax rate, my health care reform is based on the private marketplace, stock market's looking pretty good last time I checked," he said, listing his capitalist bona fides. "And, you know, it is true I'm concerned about growing inequality in our system, but nobody questions the efficacy of market economies

He also said I am not the real president, I don’t know how Io be a president. Meet the real one behind the curtain.
“listing his capitalist bona fides”
That is the argument that I hear from so many socialists, my stepson being one of them. When I pointed out to him that it is impossible to compare a political system to a financial system his jaw dropped and he had no response.
There can be no comparison between socialism and capitalism.
The comparison has to be made between socialism and a Democratic Republic.
As we all know, there are many socialists in this country who are wealthy. It does not seem to bother them that they are wealthy socialists.
Call himself what he will, he is democrat/leftist/liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/totalitarian.
I like the way PJ O’Rourke put it: Liberalism is Communism sold by the drink.
Or amongst the RINOs in Congress.
“I am not a crook.”
Seems like the ghost of Nixon is laffing somewhere....................
MOUTH OPENS... LIES POUR OUT... THERE IS NOTHING INSIDE THAT MAN BUT LIES AND EVIL AND MORE EVIL LIES.
He's right. 0's nothing against the likes of Bill Ayers and George Soros. Good thing neither of them (or both of them) are president.... we're so lucky!
Neither a socialist, communist, or Muslim, our fundamentally dishonest president is nothing more than a shyster, a confidence man.

I’ll bet Obama does what he can to throw this video down the memory hole.
Control Freak?
As lazy as he is, obama doesn't want to own anything he has to work at, so he's more of a communist from this perspective.
Either way, it's clear he does not value private ownership (i.e., capitalism).
Vampire, a puppet for Master Vampires.
Libs play it both ways: they mock people who call Obama a socialist, yet publish stories asking, “What’s wrong with socialism?” Remember Time magazine’s cover, “We’re all socialists now”?
The Socialist’s greatest trick is to convince you that they don’t really exist.
I’ll just call you felon...
“Fascist” could describe him.
true....
Yo Barak, I’ve met real socialists, hard line communists
too, you stink just like they do, you act just like they
do, and you think just like they do.
Socialists tried to kill me.
You don’t forget something like that.
Poetical interlude.
“I know”, she said!
“I know”, he said!
Together they said,”We know!”.
And I said,” Don’t tell me...
I’m not here, I’m in Vietnam, baby.”.
A little saying from 1968 in a land far away.
Keerist, this guy gives me a pain, I’ll be glad
when he is in the past along with Jimma and Bill.
