Obama is NOT a socialist. Calling Obama a “socialist” simply isn’t logical. He doesn’t share the belief that industries should be nationalized by the government or even taken over by the workers as many American Marxists espouse.

He wants “capitalism with a human face.” He wants to mitigate some of the effects of the market when people lose. This is Democratic party liberalism, not radical socialism.


The repub's are constantly slandering the president, taunting his plan as "Obamacare." trying to scare the masses with their ignorance. They just want to make sure that the masses are so scared, so that people will vote republican next election. I don't know what all the fuss is about federally funded public health care.

Most developed countries currently have partially or fully publicly funded health systems. For example, each country of the United Kingdom has a National Health Service. Other examples would be the Medicare systems in Canada and in Australia. Are these countries considered "Socialist" because of this?

Besides, we already have a federally funded public health plan in place in the US for seniors and the disables, it's called MEDICARE.
