4. Kath1, I'm not sure what you are saying here.

You voted for change and are glad we're are getting it... Are you agreeing that he is a Socialist?
Or are you sick of them saying it because it's not true?

Personally, I think Mr. Obama is just as much of a corporatist as the Bush Crime Family, but with a nice smile and pleasant demeanor. I voted for him the first time, and will happily do so again, but I see nothing Socialist about the man and his policies. I am sick of them calling him a Socialist as well, because he simply isn't. It's their dementia that makes them say that, dementia caused by the propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with.

The items you mentioned - "corporate welfare, tax breaks for the super-rich, war profiteering, racism and sexism" - none of those things have gotten better in the last 4 years, and in fact, some of them have gotten worse. Particularly the racism and sexism.

What are you saying here, Kath?
