Obama can't be a pure socialist, in the political arena he is in. His power is limited by a Constitution, which he opposes whenever it inconveniences his intentions. On the other hand, if you examine his roots, who were his mentors, his educators, his cronies when his work started, he is as socialist as any politician in the US.
Would you agree that Jesus Christ was more socialist then capitalist?

Would you agree that Jesus Christ would have been a bigger fan of Batman than of Spiderman?

I think KNs question rings true. When Jesus walked the earth Capitalism wasn't dreamed of yet.

Fascism is indistinguishable from socialism, except for the basic details. Fascism allows for the nominal private ownership of the means of production, but closely marries business to government.
You are correct. He is still fascist but with left cover.

I've been hearing a lot from the GOP these past 5 years that President Obama was a Socialist, born in Kenya who is hell bent on destroying America's capitalistic system. Well...I think the "birther" thing has simmered down. But if Obama is a Socialist, why does the unemployment rate continue to drop, the economy continue to heal, and why are America's stock market's at or near all time highs???

I somehow, very much, doubt your president is a bloody socialist.

I think that's right-wing masochistic-masturbatory fantasy.

That is an interesting discussion.
Personally, I think Judas was more socialist than Jesus.
