Who? Me a Socialist?

President Obama was interviewed by a journalist who asked him if he is a Socialist. He dismissed the question but later called the reporter to deny, deny, deny.

Obama had this to say in regards to the possibility of his being a Socialist.

“I did think it might be useful to point out that it wasn’t under me that we started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -– the prescription drug plan -- without a source of funding.”

So, his answer to “are you a Socialist” comes down to “Hey, I didn’t start this. I saw to it that it snowballed like crazy. I doubled the deficit in less than five weeks. But I didn’t start it. So there.”

Aren’t you confident in your chosen leader?
