"Lately, [McCain] and Governor Palin have actually accused me of -- get this -- socialism," Obama said. "It's kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffett endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me, and John McCain thinks I'm socialist."

Of course. It’s an opportunity for the PRODUCERS in our nation to give to the TAKERs and LEECHES.

These asshats know nothing of the private sector!

Whenever someone says something about this guy, he addresses it with a nasty retort. I have news for Mr. Obama..When you're President ALOT of people are going to say very nasty things about you. If you address all of them, you won't have any time for all the things you want to do..HEY, that's not half bad at that!

But seriously, there's something very odd about someone who looks for the negative things people say about him and gets angry about it. He has the entire world press on his side and he gets angry when his opponent says something. It's weird.

Slimy Obama cannot answer a question. He never confronts an issue always worming around the edges laying off the details.

A rose by any other name....

tv morons want style.

any one that appears not stylish is a cad.

No doubt whatsoever it is Socialism.

The only question is whether or not more than half of the American people understand it and/or care.

[Lizavetta]

What a racist post.

Marxism is for those who flunked both history and economics.

[Loyolas Mattman]

Spot on. They are using “socialism” because it is softer than calling O what he is: a marxist.

Oldthinkers doubleplus unbellyfeel Obamasoc.

I Don't Call it Socialism, I Call it Oppurtunity

I call it wealth creation directed to elitists in Washington and then divvied out as directed by Washington.

What say YOU Obama?

Keep talking Mr. Messiah. Keep mentioning the word socialism in every sentence you say! Go ask Joe to talk about the New Party while you are at it.

BTW -- Buffett stands to make a lot of money under a socialized renewable energy bill and Colin Powell is going senile.

Obama’s Party faithful don’t want to take from the rich and give to the poor. They want to take from the rich to further abuse the poor.

This is a killer point IF mcPal can stick it to the EMPEROR on ads!! This needs to go out and be distributed all across the the USA!! PRONTO!! God help us defeat this DEMON!!

Colin Powell has a big streak of socialist. All you have to do is listen to the many “inspirational” speeches he's given since he resigned as Secretary of State. It's actually fairly common in career military, at least until they take a job in the private sector. The military is or was a “cradle to grave” institution, until the expense got to cutting into welfare and other “entitlements”. Military officers are trained to “Take care of your people first”. It's perfectly appropriate in it's context, but doesn't apply to society as a whole. The people are not subordinates of the government, as “his people” were his subordinates.

[Canedawg]

He’s on the defense, which is not his strongest position.

Keep attacking!

[mlocher]

I would call it Marxism or Communism. Socialism makes it sound like Sweden and not like North Korea.

I am sure that George Carlin could describe the differences well. Markkkssssisssm and Kommmmmuuuunnnnnisssssm are evil and dark and use force to purify each member of the state before taking away their rights. Socialism, is happy. It makes people feel good about doing the moral thing and happily giving away their rights. See? One is eeeeevvvil and the other is gooooooood!

“It’s kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffett endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me, and John McCain thinks I’m socialist.”

“If you talk to Warren, he’ll tell you his preference is not to meddle in the economy at all — let the market work, however way it’s going to work, and then just tax the heck out of people at the end and just redistribute it,” Obama said.
