Obama discloses on video his socialist agenda

I couldn't believe it--a video on Fox News. Over this weekend a self-employed plumber asks BO about his tax policies. BO says--well I am taxing so I can re-distribute it around to the lower class. The plumber then says--well doesn't that punish the sucessful in this country? BO didn't know how to answer that.

Barack Obama just admitted that he plans on a very socialist agenda for this country. It's called re-distribution of wealth--also known as socialism.

If the RNC uses this video in an advertisment--it's a slam dunk.

Re: Obama discloses on video his socialist agenda

Its not like this has ever been concealed. Joe Biden even suggests that its patriotic to be a socialist.

I'm trying to think of the last democrat presidential nominee that did not have this viewpoint and coming up with a blank.

Its exactly what his base wants to hear and as almost half the voters stand to be the recipients of other people's money its music to their ears as they do not seem to understand that this is not as sweet a deal as it seems. They may get a "promise" but it may cost them their job.

You mean he's going to nationalize the banks?

Sorry if I'm not blindly taking your word for it, but do you have a link to this video?

It looks like it's convinced you not to vote for Obama, but I'd like to see it to guess what other people might think about it.

So, I guess that makes the GOP socialist, 'cause the Republican plan is to nationalize the banks now.

You aren't my comrade, sorry.

I'd insert a silly attempt at demeaning you here, but actually I simply find you boring.

Seems about the gist of it, I'd say. Republicans calling Democrats 'socialist' has always been silly, but now it's getting to the point where I actually chuckle out loud at my desk.

Obama is a socialist - don't vote for him! Vote for my guy who wants the government to buy up and run banks!

One day you'll meet a true socalist... but if this is socalism then it sounds like a damn good idea.

And he may even want to buy up everyone's mortgages.

Obama did say it....spread the wealth around. He's going to tax the rich at a higher rate than Bush did and at least he's being honest about it.

That's one wealthy plumber, by the way.
