Is Obama a Socialist?

Would it not be better to look at what the man himself says rather than looking at what church his mother went to.

I guess you didn't click on every posted link, because he shows his Socialist beliefs in his own words.

It's one thing to have a liberal left wing President...it's another to have one who ignores the entire right and plows ahead with his own agenda. With him as President, there is no Yin/Yang. There's only Yin.

No I did not click on the links because I would not be surprised if he held socialist beliefs. In fact I expect him to. Most left wing politicians in Europe (including current and previous UK PM) have some socialist beliefs. So what.

If you just kept to the links then fine no problem. But you did not. You went on at great length in a long list about his mom and pop and what church they went to and what pop did in Nairobi etc etc etc etc. My post was address at the relevance of that - not the links.

You believe that Government ownership and/or control of everything is good for the country? You cite European countries as the example of that position? Yet the fact that those countries are trending downward provides no concern?
Why must the USofA be like Europe?? The major problem with you view, socialism counterbalances capitalism, is that socialism also counterbalances liberty. That is most definately not a good thing!!

If so desire to live under the auspices of socialism perhaps you would be better served to choose a residence where such is already the manner of operation.

So you think how someone is raised has absolutely no bearing on how they turn out or what they believe in?

He continues to live/think the way his parents did.
