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

“my health care reform is based on the private marketplace”

Sure...you see it all the time in the free market where someone blackmails a supreme court justice to force consumers to purchase their product. Stupid Americans just don’t understand the new marketplace.

“I’m not a socialist”, says the guy who worked to put
one sixth of the country’s economy under government
control.

He was a socialist. He was a true believer. That’s why him and Hillary are so screwed up. They were true believers in socialism who realized it doesn’t work. So then they became really angry and decided to become thieves and enrich themselves as much as possible. He has socialists around him, and they do have influence on him, but he’s just a shill. Ever see Mao or Fidel or Ho playing 151 rounds of golf? Nope. You go to the re-education camp for stuff like that.

He’s right. So far he hasn’t ordered all the Republicans in the House and Senate brought to the Washington Mall, lined up and executed by the Secret Service.

No, he’s a Fascist.
He believes in private ownership but only through the authority of government directives by taxation and regulation.

thanks Sub-Driver. In his defense, just being a pathological liar doesn't make one a socialist.

"And, you know, it is true I'm concerned about growing inequality in our system, but nobody questions the efficacy of market economies...
...except for people who say, "you didn't build that" and claim that an all-powerful gov't is the only available mechanism to make a better life.
