i love how people claim someone is something and have to proof to back it up.

it`s pretty apparent if you look at what obama has done since he moved to chicago that he is not a socialist.

He isn't. He is a moderate republican, you nitwit. What the hell would Boehlert have been in the 80s - I know- still a fascist, only more so.

a Socialist, nah. And if he has some kind of war on the business community, it's def. failed. Corporate profits are through the roof under him.
