If you had checked your own link on Browner, LJ, you would have discovered you were wrong. The group she was a member of included Britian's prime minister, Gordon Brown.

"The Commission for a Sustainable World Society includes world leaders from a variety of political parties, including British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who succeeded Tony Blair, in serving as vice president of the convening organization," Obama transition spokesman Nick Shapiro said.

The use of the term "leader" to describe her position (not president) was used by the Washington Times but without any justification. However, I fail to see a problem. Last time I checked "socialist" organizations are not at war with this country; it's hardly an act of disloyalty; in fact, one of the better US Senators, Bernie Sanders, is explicitly such. And we could certainly use more such.

That's interesting. I guess you have a problem with socialism. Right? Is that the same as having a problem with communism? Such as China?

I'm not nuts about China economically. But their weird communism seems to be working for them.
