In an interview with HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher, President Barack Obama said Friday that theres no economy that doesnt have some socialist elements because there are some common goods that everyone agrees people should have.
The label socialism doesnt make that much sense in a context where theres no economy that doesnt have some socialist elements, meaning that theres some common goods that we all agree everybody should have. Thats what Social Security is. Thats what Medicare is to some extent. Thats what public schools are, Obama said.
We all chip in to make sure that everybody no matter the circumstances of your birth have these baseline goods, and as you know Ive felt pretty strongly that health care should be one of those goods, the president said.

Seeing as how socialists are thieves and liars of monumental proportions hes right. Criminal Masterminds is a better description.
If I had my way I wouldn't pay a dime into the ponzi scheme known as Social Insecurity and Medicare/caid.
Unfortunately only the good die young, so we’ll probably have to listen to BO flap his lips for the next 30-40 years. :(
Yes. I know that. I’ve already accepted our fate.
Another good reason to be RETIRED and contributing LITTLE via income taxes to, ‘The Lifestyles of the Rich and Communist!’
Trump should ask his Attorney General to get to the bottom of Obama’s birthplace.
If it’s foreign, or he’s not a citizen, then his penshion and SS protection would be striped.
Let him mouth off then.
Obama, the label of president didn’t make sense to AMERICANS!
FDR was a commie. We need to rid ourselves of their crap.
DISGUSTING!
He is also insulting if he thinks anyone with an IQ above 30 would believe this nonsense!!!
Obama isn’t really a socialist. He’s a fascist.
Before all the play on words, they called it charity when it was voluntary. When force becomes involved it’s stealing.\
‘When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you’ll always have the support of Paul’ (or the 47%+)
Not much difference. Just take out the forced atheism and throw in a little bit of Lenin’s New Economic Policy. Although Obama did try to push some of the Leninistic forced atheism in some venues, e.g. Obamacare mandate and “bake the cake”.
Who wrote his lines?
He’s mistaken about “Government” being the source for “common goods.”
In the founding era the family and church provided common goods (food and shelter) and education (homeschooling, private schooling), not the state.
The community organized the “militia”, free men armed with guns. (I’d love the State to provide me with an M16/M4, but that’s a “common good” the anti-gun, fascists expressly prohibit — hypocrits).
We expect one system of law and justice, where all men are EQUAL before the law. But in his communist/fascist world, some are MORE EQUAL than others. He ignores the limits of the Constitutional authority. Clinton is documented ignoring information security laws, RICO laws, obstruction of justice laws.
Brazen tyranny.
There is no nation or economy that does not have bananas.
You know I have wondered that. Trump might surprise us after the election with an updated certificate that he has possessed all along.
That would be cool wouldn’t it.
Citizens of the USSR are equal before the law, without distinction of origin, social or property status, race or nationality, sex, education, language, attitude to religion, type and nature of occupation, domicile, or other status.Big difference between their notion of what is equal and the notion of liberty and justice for all.
1977 USSR constitution, Article 36
All persons holding the nationality of the Peoples Republic of China are citizens of the Peoples Republic of China. All citizens of the Peoples Republic of China are equal before the law. Every citizen enjoys the rights and at the same time must perform the duties prescribed by the Constitution and the law.
PRC constitution, Article 33 Socialist Republic of Vietnam constitution, Article 16
- All citizens are equal before the law.
- No one shall be discriminated against based on his or her political, civic, economic, cultural or social life.
I am telling you, if he begins to clean house, he may not stop. I know Joe Arpaio in 80+ but he needs to appoint him to a secondary post of some kind. And yes, that would be so sweet to surprise Obama.
