President Barack Obama on Thursday brushed aside concerns that he favors socialism, saying in an interview with Univision that his policies are so mainstream that he would have been considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s.

Via the transcript of the interview by Alina Mayo Azze of "Noticias Univision 23" in Miami:

AMA: One issue that Cuban-Americans are worried about is, they believe that you favor a socialist model for our country. Cubans and Venezuelans especially because of what they have gone through. What do you think of that?

PBO: I don't know that there are a lot of Cubans or Venezuelans, Americans who believe that. The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican. I mean,

“I’m not a soclialist- I just believe that the government should own everything and make everything ‘fair’ by spreading ‘the wealth’ around”

I mean, what I believe in is a tax system that is fair.

The very definition of socialism

I don't think government can solve every problem.

Yet, every facet of human existence in America is being threatened by government intervention/control

I think that we should make sure that we're helping young people go to school.

By controlling the school system and forcing the people via taxes to pay for free school

We should make sure that our government is building good roads and bridges and hospitals and airports so that we have a good infrastructure.

They already exist, and this is the same list of "we shoulds" from 4 years ago

I do believe that it makes sense that everyone in America, as rich as this country is, shouldn't go bankrupt because someone gets sick, so the things I believe in are essentially the same things your viewers believe in.

I'm not lieing when I speak to people that ALSO believe as I do .... it may not be the truth, but I'm not lieing to them

Most alcoholics do not think they are alcoholics. Most abusive husbands and fathers do not think they are abusive. Most tyrannical narcissistic leaders do not think they are tyrannical narcissists.

It is hilarious how such a “don’t-be-hypocritical-but-be-true-to-yourself therapeutic lefty cannot see himself in a mirror. Nor, it would appear, can any of the other professional hypocrisy spotters of the left.

Obama is a racialist and racist like the socialists are. He divides for power. He does not beleive that all people are equal under the law beyond skin. Holder has made this clear when he told Congress whites don’t have civil rights protections and therefore black thugs can not be charged when they intimidate whites at a voting place.

He is a big fat socialist racist. Not American.

Of course not, that's just silly. If he were a socialist he would be working to nationalize large corporations such as GM, force socialized medicine on an unwilling country, and expropriate and redistribute wealth to his party followers.

Oh, wait...

All this proves is that he is, without a doubt, a Muslim, because Muhammad instructed his followers to lie to Dhimmis and Kafirs.

He is a big fat socialist racist. Not American. Not a man for freedom. He also rejects religious freedom for Christians like a good little foreigner jihadist centralize power man . See Obamacare.

As I always say to leftist who object that he doesn’t fit the dictionary definition of socialist -

yeah, you’re right, he’s more of a fascist than anything.

President “You didn’t build that” is either completely delusional or a complete liar.
