| Is
Obama a socialist?
No,
Obama is not a socialist.
Obama
does not believe that the state should own and run large
sectors of the economy, which is a traditional socialist
belief. He is a firm believer in free market capitalism,
in individual choice and responsibility.
Obama
is a centrist Democrat. There are people in the Democrat
party who might be termed social democrats by European
standards. Dennis Kucinich is one of them, but not Obama.
If
Obama is a socialist for believing in some redistribution
of wealth (i.e. taxing those earning more than $250,000 a
year), then so is Republican President Bush for sending
out stimulus checks and bailing out the banks with tax
payers' money.
WHY
THE RUMORS? Mr. Obama's political
opponents believed they could dissuade people from voting
for him by implying he is outside the mainstream of
American Political life. |
