Obama phone home (The New York Times) – I am not a socialist

obama_youth_04.jpgHussein Obama after dismissing a question to New York Obama Times reporters regarding if he was a socialist or not, is now in damage control, and had to call the newspaper from the Oval Office to clarify his policies. Has there even been a President in History that not only has had so many gaffes in their first 7 weeks in office, that they even had to call a newspapers (especially one so in bed with Obama) to clarify things? Heres a quote from the Washington Times:

“It was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question,” he told reporters, who had interviewed the president aboard Air Force One on Friday.

Opening the unusual presidential call to reporters by saying that there was “just one thing I was thinking about as I was getting on the copter,” he said it wasn’t he who started the federal government’s intervention into the nation’s financial system.

“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. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word ‘socialist’ around can’t say the same.”

Asking Hussein Obama if he is a radical liberal socialist is like asking a leopard if it has spots.
