It's Official: Obama is a Socialist

Obama's a socialist. That's the view of 55% of American voters, according to a new poll. And this isn't coming from a Republican pollster.

It comes from Democracy Corps, a polling group started by life-long Democratic operative James Carville and his partner Stan Greenberg. When the group asked 1,000 voters in mid-June how well the term "socialist" fits President Obama, 55% said "well" or "very well."

This must scare the hell of the elites in the media and academe, who think such talk is just the province of Glenn Beck, not the majority of voters. But, yes, and yes again. It is Glenn Beck and it is the American people who think that. And when you look at the evidence, it's hard to dispute.

Nationalizing companies and whole industries and big-footing time-honored laws regarding property rights are socialist policies. It's fair to assume that the man directing socialist policies is a socialist.

And Americans have always been fair.

They were fair to give Obama the benefit of the doubt and elect him...And after seeing him in action, they're fair to think of him as a socialist.

His recess appointment of the new health czar, Donald Berwick, helps confirm that impression. Remember, he's the guy who says that the only way to improve health care in America is to force the redistribution of wealth in this country. That's the kind of socialist nonsense that you hear in academic circles all the time.

And in academic circles, this talk usually goes unchallenged. These people believe that folks are poor because other people are rich. They even extend that belief to the whole world, believing that the only reason poor countries are poor is because they're exploited by rich countries. That's called "dependency theory," but it's really just warmed over socialism. And it's got the same emotional core as socialism, drawing its energy from guilt, envy and jealousy. When these ideas are isolated in academic circles, they're just another theory to argue about late at night, over coffee and cigarettes.

But when they're played out in reality, they can cause devastation.

The world has buried in it far more corpses resulting from the envy of socialism than it does from the greed of capitalism. And the affluence of America’s middle class has nothing to do with socialism or redistribution of wealth - it has to do with the creation of wealth.

Now, thankfully most Americans, even inside the Beltway, understand that income redistribution is not the key to our social problems. They understand that the ultimate outcome of that belief is to make everyone poorer. Americans don't want a society that pushes people down, but one that brings everyone up - or at least provides the opportunity for everyone to succeed as high as they can go.

Obama's socialism is a no brainer.

Those who continue to follow him "are" part of the problem.

Its been official since before the election

Only problem is most of America WAS NOT LISTENING

I have never watched Glen Beck, never, and I've described Mr. Obama as a Socialist for months now.

All one has to have is a brain, or children that they've raised properly, to realize that Obama is a very active part of America's problem - just like children that go astray and hang out with the wrong people who could cause them more than a minor problem in their life.

This is not to say that Obama is a victim, because he is more than a willing participant in his form of "change" that the majority of people around the world do NOT want a part of.

The only thing Obama knows how to run is his mouth.

The only thing Obama does is run other people's jobs, while he's totally abandoned the responsibilities he vowed to obide by.

Just like little children who have not grown up, Obama, and his administration and followers, have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar - their response is to LIE and blame others for what's happening.

I'm kind of wondering why this was even a question. During the elections, he named the folks he would surround himself with, and everyone gave him a pass again. At every turn, the "lame stream" media has given him a pass even when he was at his worst. I am going to try to upload a chart I have that shows his "go-to" folks...

If Obama wants to spread the wealth around, how about him sharing all of the millions that he has, also Reid, Pelosi, and Clinton? That would be an unbelievable sum of money with which they could help the poor. But the fact is, they want everyone else to do it --- they certainly don't want anyone touching their own personal fortunes. They have gotten rich off of this country, and now they want to change the very system that made them that way.

Where are their brains??? Without the rich, who SUPPLY the jobs, how would the poor be able to work in the first place?

This administration is socialist, without a doubt. So why in heaven's name can't democrats (and some republicans) see that? It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to understand what is happening to our country.

No administration in the history of America has caused so much anger and up-rising as is happening now. These people NEED TO GO!

To briefly and accurately answer your question, jobs will be supplied by the government. That is the socialists way, to make people dependent upon the Government. So, the larger the Messiah can make the Government and overload the economy, the faster he can transform this country into a socialist republic. Isn't that what people voted for?
