[Hoot Gibson]

Barack Obama is not a socialist. He is a fair scales capitalist. No matter how many times you repeat the mantra, Hoot, being the good little propogandist, it doesn't make it true. Of course, your hope is that 50.1% of Americans, especially in swing electoral states, believe the wash. Incredibly disgraceful politics, but, then again, I have to consider the source.

If you are not careful, you are going to convince yourself that Obama is not a socialist by repeating that hogwash, CM. Liberals used to argue that one cannot be a socialist unless one controls the means of production. However, when Obama took over GM and fired its CEO, that argument kind of fell by the wayside. Now, you just resort to a silly name change to call Obama's particular brand of socialism by another name.

BTW, welcome back from wherever you have been.
