Obama Rejects Cries of Socialism

Reuters is reporting that Barack Obama launched a vigorous defense of his economic agenda Wednesday, rejecting critics who call his policies "socialism" and insisting he aims to boost U.S. competitiveness abroad.  Speaking to the Business Roundtable, Obama said, "Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market."

Obama said his efforts to enact sweeping legislation to overhaul financial regulations and set caps on carbon emissions to fight climate change were not aimed at thwarting businesses.

"We have arrived at a juncture in our politics where reasonable efforts to update our regulations, or make basic investments in our future, are too often greeted with cries of 'government takeover' or even 'socialism'," Obama said.

"Getting this balance right has less to do with big government or small government than it does smart government.  It's not about being anti-business or pro-government; it's about being pro-growth and pro-jobs," he said.

Despite Obama's protestations, our cousin's in England have his number.

Adam Shaw, a Brit, says those of us across the pond who analyze American politics know exactly who it is you have in the White House.  Obama is not some new post-political entity.  Nor is he some form of Stalinist that will set up a USSA.  He is a normal, well-spoken, charismatic socialist who in Britain would sit quite happily towards the left of the Labour Party alongside figures such as Tony Benn, Aneurin Bevan, Harold Wilson, and Ed Balls.  To call someone a socialist is not conspiratorial, and it is not fear-mongering; it is simply the truth, and it is time for some in the media to take a deep breath and admit it -- America has a socialist leading the country.

Welcome to the club.  It stinks!

Obama lies, and lies, and lies, and lies...

Lately, Obama has been telling the American People that he's not a socialist -- because it suits his purposes.

In the 1990s, Obama told these people that he WAS a socialist -- because it suited his purposes.

A little over a year ago, ABC's George Stephanopoulos wrote on his blog:

"I asked the president-elect, 'At the end of the day, are you really talking about over the course of your campaign some kind of grand bargain?  That you have tax reform, healthcare reform, entitlement reform including Social Security and Medicare, where everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something, accept change for the greater good?'

"'Yes,' Obama said.

Obama can deny all he wants.  AT BEST, he's a socialist, and in ObamaWorld, the end ALWAYS justifies the means, and lying is just part of the job -- "for the greater good."

I agree with Obama. He's not a socialist, he's a fascist.

[Marty62]

Ofcourse he is for free market...IF the STATE determines who and how that free market works. THAT IS FASCISM.

[ClearCase_guy]

Fascism. Say it loud. Say it often.

[Tarpon]

Rude crude Socialist Obama rejects being called a socialist. And he wouldn't dare propose something as stupid as socialized medicine would he ...

OK so then answer me this, why did he hire Ron Bloom as his manufacturing Czar?

[MrB]

Anyone who claims to know what the “greater good” is
is too arrogant to be allowed the reins of power.

The fact you have to claim you’re not a socialist probably means you are a socialist. Can you imagine Ronald Reagan or even Bush I or II needing to clarify they were not socialists? I think he doth protest too loudly.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I agree with Obama. He's not a socialist, he's a fascist.

I think he's a unique combination of marxism, socialism/fascism and communism with a smattering of black liberation theology tossed in.

He deserves his own ism, I vote for obamanation or obamunism

At any rate, he's let us know where his goat is tied up.

[Marty62]

Words to live OR die by.

For the “life unworthy of life” these Dumocrats have an ugly surprise for americans

[Freddd]

He was raised in the largest Muslim Country, went to Islamic schools, father was a Muslim, sisters and brothers are Muslims and still, he claims he’s not a Muslim, ...

[Daisyjane69]

For the same reason I pretend I don’t need to lose 10 lbs.

[RJS1950]

He’s a fascist all right but he didn’t really reject the contention that he is a socialist, he just denied it; that is a big difference.

[oyez]

I take it that Obama fails to grasp the definition of “Socialist.” For what its worth, I take anything he says with a grain of salt. I think the biggest worry I have is about what the things doesn't say.

[Oldpuppymax]

Hussein is not CONSERVATIVE enough to be a socialist. He is a FASCIST!!

[skeeter]

Watch out - his mouth is moving again.

[SoldierDad]

Obama said, "Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market."

Uh huh!!! Sure, Mr. Obozo. Then, tell me please, what should we call your governmental control over the housing market, the banking market, the auto industry, the environment (Cape & Trade) and your attempt to take over complete control of the health care industry????? What a SCHMUCK!!!!

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, just like he isn’t an ideologue.

[SoldierDad]

Wish I only had to lose 10 pounds ;-)

Taqiyyah!

[elk]

Did he open his mouth to say this?

If so, "You Lie" alert is called for.

[Daisyjane69]

I prolly could lose more than ten without worrying.

We can go on a diet together, sweetpea!
