>>" Obama is a socialist. "<< Ohmigosh, does that mean he will keep awarding more "Socialism" monies to Blackwater and those types...you know, good "Socialism", the kind that dumps $12Bn a month into Iraq unfunded no less. Yup, can't have that...no way...the next thing he might try to do is spend for "evil Socialism", you know...an energy policy funded with Gov't dollars, health care for all Americans...etc, Terrible!!!!

LIAR. The "socialist" tag is very outdated and stupid. Anyone who uses that term is an idiot. Every single country in the world is socialist, as is the USA. We are just less socialist than our main allies, all of whom have far better and healthier economies than we do now. So obbiously unbrieged unreregulated capitalism doesn't work. What DOES work is regulated capitalism where corporations are forced to obey the law and think about others not just themselves. That's when capitalism works great. See 1960-1963 and 1995-1999 for perfect examples of the way it ought to be. Those are the role models, however imperfect. The Eisenhower years also worked well, despite the bloated Cold War paranoia and spending. And Eisenhower was 100% right to leave office warning us that the #1 threat to our country is not other countries, but our own greedy military industrial complex. That being Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Delay-Abramoff-Cunningham incarnate. McCaiun deserves mention in that group too.
