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.
"Let’s 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 we’ve 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, I’m not going to engage in that," he said.
But he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Obama follows this belief:
“To each according to their needs, from each according to their ability”. Karl Marx
Now we have him on the run. reporters need to keep asking him this question every chance they can.
It took 3?

If your not a socialist then I’m not a conservative! Yea right!
Isn’t odd that he seem compelled to answer Rush. This is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m not a socialist and neither was Saul Alinsky. I just worked as a Community Organizer, teaching Alinsky organizing techniques because it was the only job I could find.
He sure is a Dumb S_ _ _.!
If it looks like a duck, if it waddles like a duck and if it quacks like a duck, it is a duck.(socialist = duck)
“In the 20 years that I attended Rev. Wright’s Church, I never heard him give those types of sermons”....William Ayres is just someone I knew from the neighborhood”...”We can put a Man on the moon..then we can find a way to have clean coal”...You all believe him dontcha
That is just too funny.

Sorry Obama, this is not an answer as to if you are or are not a socialist.
Try again.

ROFLMBO!!!!
He’s not a socialist!! He’s a (fill in the blank) comedian!
Yeah, he’s not a socialist the same way he is transparent and fiscally responsible.
The article said — “When pressed by reporters for the Times as to what one word he would use to characterize his political philosophy, Obama declined. “No, I’m not going to engage in that,” he said.”

Ummm..., that’s because the word doesn’t exist for him to speak it, that says his “Alice-in-Wonderland” [supposed] position — other than Socialist...
He’s a National Socialist. We all know what that means, right?
“He sure is a Dumb S_ _ _.!”
That, sir, is an insult to feces, which can be useful and makes things grow.
