Is Obama pulling the wool over eyes of trusting, hopeful Americans to lead down a rosy socialist path?

Obama's rhetoric is certainly confusing when he promises so much but doesn't put numbers and means on how he could possibly deliver.

Fox News just ran "Saving our Economy" in which Obama's advisors

James Johnson and Franklin Reins were divulged to have benefitted millions from corruption of Fannie Mae, which Obama voted against regulating in 2005 and 2006.Is Obama pulling the wool over eyes of trusting, hopeful Americans to lead down a rosy socialist path?
What have the last 8 yrs of growth in government, spending, deletion of privacy issues and nationalization of banks been under a REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT? Can we just stop throwin "scary" words around to get reaction and start looking at what the hell we got going on right NOW! And yet you wanna elect someone who would continue the same "SOCIALIST" policies we have seen over the last 8 yrs. Gimme a break!
Yes, though I don't know if it's intentional. Obama's background of having parents in and out of his life, bi-racial, and living his formative

years in Indonesa, and building his career by power and money links to radical anti-Americans and Muslims, he probably just thinks he's being

reasonable in spreading the wealth around.



Obama grew up with privileges most in the middle class don't know or have, what with top private schools whether he earned the grades usually required for entrance or not.



My opinion is he's been talking his way into special privileges all his life, to get what he wants when he wants and without going through the usual rigors, channels and following the usual rules.



He is being a hopelessly impossible salesman to get what he wants

know. Problem is, what he sells best is his own rhtetoric, not jobs

or any gains for those Chicago communities, Illinois or anywhere else. Is Obama pulling the wool over eyes of trusting, hopeful Americans to lead down a rosy socialist path?
Yes he is and it's sad that his followers will not even look ath the truth. Obama was the second highest receiver of money from Fanny and Freddy, look below.

Want to see Obama in his Muslim dress?

Definately pulling the wool over people's eyes. Regarding socialism I can't say but he refuses to provide his legal Birth Certificate, even though there are at least 2 lawsuits asking for it now. (I heard there are more but I only know for sure about two, too bad the Main Stream Media is in the tank for Obama and doesn't report these things)





Is Obama pulling the wool over eyes of trusting, hopeful Americans to lead down a rosy socialist path?
Yes he is, and the gullible idealistic voters have bought into his rhetoric. What they don't realize is that the ONLY change Obama would bring about would be to turn America into a Socialist state. Some voters naively believe that Obama is a moderate Democrat, but he's actually a far-leftist.
And what exactly is wrong with 'socialism'? You guys act as if the word can be replaced with 'the plague'. Maybe a little socialism is just what this country needs: a little more 'we' and a little less 'me'. We have gone the route of unfettered capitalism and it has only served to make the rich richer and the poor well behind. The gap between the rich and poor in this country is comparable to a third world state. Wake up, and start questing our cultural mantra of self-interest and individuality. Because the reality is far less Rosy..
No, but falling for the McCain an Palins will lead to the destruction of this country, it will take you off the track of paying attention to many of McFailins criminal activity and you have no clue how much McCain has been involved in much scandal and F/F are among the top
He sure is, and a psychologist analzyed his speeches and interviews and reported on how he does it...he uses hypnotic techniques in his speeches and interviews. See the report at the link below.
Obama with his SOCIALISM ?



Wake up, open your eyes to see the ruin of USA when it becomes a socialist country!


While I hate to think that could be the case, I have never once heard him deny it. Have you? Please ease my mind and tell me he has denied it.
the moment you sound the "socialist" fear machine, your question goes down the toilet.


Thats only one of the many possible scary things he may do to america.
Fox News? ROFL



No, he is not pulling the wool over our eyes, he will be a great leader.
Absolutely, his voting record proves it
Knock it off troll
Yes he is.
yup, i'm scared
MOST DEFINITELY!! He is the most radical socialist to have EVER run for President of the USA. Better watch out for the Trojan Horse that he REALLY is. Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radical's" comes to mind and the parallels are MANY and it's NOT a coincidence!!



It's ironic that Obama has used the "lipstick on a pig" line, because Avon's whole inventory couldn't, sans media spin, cover up his true colors. And color is a factor this election. It's not that the senator is black, however, or that, as he said last debate alluding to McCain's criticism, he is "green behind the ears." It's that he is red behind the ears.



Barack Obama may be the most radically-left major-party presidential nominee in our nation's history. A recent analysis of voting records 鈥?not words but actions 鈥?showed that the senator owned the most left-wing record in the Senate in 2007, placing him ahead of even that body's one avowed socialist, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Now, if Sanders proclaims himself a socialist, and Obama is to the left of Sanders, what do you call Obama?



Of course, some question the methodology of the study, and, true enough, a different one might yield slightly different rankings. But if Obama is within a sickle-length of socialist Sanders, does it really matter if he is a couple of spots above or below? This is an instance where we definitely should remember second place.



Yet accusations of socialism are, well, just so hard to believe. But a damning revelation just came to light that should leave no doubt about Obama's sympathies. The blog "Politically Drunk On Power" (PDOP) just discovered documents showing that the senator was a member of the "New Party," which is, the blog explains,



". . . a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards."



Now, listen to this. The New Party tried its best to obscure Obama's ties to the organization 鈥?I'm guessing with the complicity of the senator's campaign 鈥?and had scrubbed the relevant documents from its website; however, PDOP was able to find them at a non-profit Internet Archive Organization. Quoting from the October 1996 New Party update, the blog reveals:



New Party members are busy knocking on doors, hammering down lawn signs, and phoning voters to support NP candidates this fall. Here are some of our key races . . .



Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).



PDOP then cites the November 1996 issue of Progressive Populist magazine, which reported on the results of the general election, writing:



"New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago [emphasis mine]."



Providing further evidence, PDOP provides an excerpt from the DSA's July/August Edition of New Ground 47 Newsletter, which in part reads:



. . . the NP's '96 Political Program has been enormously successful with 3 of 4 endorsed candidates winning electoral primaries. All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude . . . . [One of them,] Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.



Citing yet another source, the 1996 Election Update from the Columbus Free Post, PDOP writes:



"The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested."



Now there is an obvious question. If Obama was a member of the New Party, why was he running as a Democrat in Illinois? The answer is that these socialists were Machiavellian and understood that they could not as yet win power under their own banner. This tactic was outlined in the New Party's 1997 Happy Birthday Update. Here are parts of the PDOP excerpt:



. . . the New Party would remain independent of the Democratic Party 鈥?but without undermining the Democrats.



. . . the New Party's founders suggest, the left needs an organization that straddles the inside-outside fence. If the U.S. left is ever to make a meaningful decision on the third-party-vs.-Dems question, they propose, it must first take on the task of grassroots power-building.



. . . The party's strategy has been to build political organizations in a few targeted cities, working closely with labor and community organizations.



Does Obama's history as a "community organizer" still sound innocuous or even positive? The above provides the strongest indication that he was a socialist community organizer ("agitator" is a better word).
Socialism has worked in countries like Canada, Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Australia. What make you think it can't work here? We are the greatest nation in the world yet we have people who can't get health insurance and can't go to college. I find those facts disturbing.
