The Obama regime took over GM and fired its CEO and Obama has expressed no regrets. IMO, that alone makes Obama a socialist. No matter how many times you claim that Obama is not a socialist, more facts are on my side than on yours. Name another US president that has assumed control of a large US company and then demanded that the company fire its CEO.

Is it socialist to ask a fireman to fight a fire at the home of a libertarian? In other words, believeing that the federal government has to step in and do certain things for the benefit of "the common good" that individual citizens might not be equipped to do for themselves... this is not socialism. As to specifics, I'm not sure Obama should have handled GM exactly the way he did. However, the might of corporate power often silences the voice of the small individual until "Big Brother" gets involved. Sometimes, like on the playground when a bully is muscling a little kid, "I'll get my Big Brother" isn't so bad. That's all, really, Hoot, I'm asking that you acknowledge. I realize you will never vote for Obama, maybe never offer him any grace at all. That's cool. However, you don't have to demonize or villify people by distortion and exaggeration and selective reporting simply because you disagree with them... unless, of course, you are attempting to dredge up a big audience on radio or TV.
