Obama: I'm not a socialist @ 4:53 pm by Michael O'Brien
President Obama argued this weekend that he is not, in fact, a socialist, despite veiled Republican claims to the contrary.
"Lets take a look at the budget the answer would be no," Obama said during his interview with the New York Times."If you look at our budget, what you have is a very disciplined, fiscally responsible budget, along with an effort to deal with some very serious problems that have been put off for a very long time."
The president said that his administration's spending priorities have been completely in line with what he'd promised as a candidate last fall, and that he's not more liberal than he let on.
"We have delivered on every promise that weve made so far," he said.
When pressed by reporters for the Times as to what one word he would use to characterize his political philosophy, Obama declined. "No, Im not going to engage in that," he said.
Lie like a rug.
Obama: I am not a socialist
Nixon: I am not a crook
Of course not. You’re a marxist.
This is the first time I have ever agreed with zero on anything - he is not a socalist.
He is either a marxist or a fascist - not that there is much practical difference between two.
DING DING DING!
WINNER!
That one statement is the biggest lie of all. “No Earmarks:, “No Lobbyists”, etc.
What he HAS started (Yes, just started) to deliver on are the unspoken things on his Agenda which most here were already wise to.
Not a tax cut for all families making 250,000 or less. That’s still not been passed.
Liar.
But he is a crook.
He’s an Alinskyist.
Okay, Marxist.
He’s beyond socialism. He’s a full-fledged Marxist commie.
But he plays one on TV.
Relevant post below. Most important, note number 10 in the list. Is someone in denial?

And I quote:
“#10: Above all, socialists are in denial. No matter how much you point out the obvious that the government is fulfilling the dictionary definition of socialism they flat deny it. If you point out the horrors of socialized medicine, for example, a socialist will say “But this time it will be different.” Socialists are unconcerned that the government holds 40 percent of Citibank and over 80 percent of AIG. Nancy Pelosi assures us that government takeovers of banks should be “transitional” but not permanent, and Steny Hoyer hesitates “to use the word nationalization.” You’ll notice they don’t deny it’s a government takeover. They merely refuse to call a duck a duck. Quack quack.”

Well, he said it. That should settle it, then. Satisfied, everybody? (/sarc)
No, Obama , you are not a socialist, you are a Obamaist.....
He must've stayed at a lot of Holiday Inns.
