The assertion that Barack Obama is a socialist became a hallmark of the 2008 presidential campaign.
[....]
Given his conduct and rhetoric as president, we have every reason to reopen the question from 2008 and ask, quite simply, What kind of socialist is Barack Obama?

And as a connoisseur of nuance, especially of the disingenuous kind, I highly recommend Brook's latest:
Obama and the people around him are are Obamunists — Obama is the prototypical Obamunist — a blend of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Che, Capone, Billy Sunday, Boss Tweed, Muhammad, and Tupac — they are hybrids — they use all the tools — whatever will get them power and keep them in power.
An Obamunist believes the orders come from them, the enlightened ones, through the bureaucracy, to the People. They wrap their stuff up in fancy slogans, but their goal is power — and they believe they are entitled to it.
I think he’s an African Socialist like his dad. Or Robert Mugabe.
He’s an African Colonial, a kind of Marxist that decries the West for colonizing AFrica but instituting its ideas to hold onto power. He deeply resents America for its role in defending against National Socialism and World Socialism, and is doing everything to make America pay for its “sins”.
“Jonah Goldberg is a David Brooks who somehow managed to stay on the farm.”
Jonah’s mom will spank him, if he goes too far off the farm.
Say “progressive conservative” without sounding stupid.
What he wants is the incremental takeover of business and the American way of life with the "social justice" process. He's not the first president to try this (FDR and LBJ), and he might not even outdo FDR in his radical policies. But by wanting to permanently make capitalism a tool of the federal government and subject Americans to an ever increasing list of rules and regulations, a radical socialist/fascist he still is. That's Obama, our first social-fascist president.
“What kind of socialist is Barack Obama?”.....
The kind that cares nothing about personal freedoms....
He’s a Fascist. Don’t call him Il Douche for nothin’.
What are shades of Socialism? Light pink, dark pink or flaming red the end is all the same.
This is like saying yes Obama is pregnant, but just a little! What side of stupid is this author stuck into?
IMHO he sure isn’t doing his proclaimed race any favors. I’m starting to think that if this is the best they have, as they are holding him in such high regard, then I don’t want a damn thing to do with them.
If The Won was just incompetent, he'd occasionally, just by accident, "get it right" once in a while.
He never "gets it right"; therefore "incompetence" doesn't adequately explain him.
It would be nice if the label of “red” were put back where it belongs, on the Left.

Other than the “birther” comment, It was a pretty good essay.
As far as the birthers go, I’m an agnostic. Who can tell?
If he is a natural born citizen, then by withholding his birth certificate he shows what contempt he has for the rest of us.
