Why is this so shocking? The US is becoming more like France every day thanks to someone you helped into office... Most of you guys voted for Barry Obama and guess what... Welcome to Cap and Trade. Do you think that won't impact either our economy or the airlines? Do ya? Thanks for voting for Barry and contributing to the United States of Socialism.... Next time, think before you vote for a Socialist who will end up hurting your economy and your industry. God save us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no, Palin is not a viable substitute. Instead, we need a fiscal conservative focused on jobs - that's it.

Rant over.

Obama is not a socialist. You don't know the definition of socialism.

Yes, I voted for him. Given the same choices of candidates, I'd vote for him again.

Really waka? come on man:

Socialism refers to the various theories of economic organization advocating either public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources.[1][2][3]

Obama appears pretty good at taking over banks and car companies, feels pretty good about dolling out TARP to cronie states.

Most socialists share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation,

Obama is qouted saying "he doesn't think those fat cats deserve anything" and in fact "shall have their pay restricted".

Seems like a socialist to me.

I'm not a big Obama fan but don't be a hypocrite. Check out the Emergency Economic Stabilzation act of 2008 and see who signed that into law. Republicans are really no different than the Democrats. They aren't for bailouts unless it is their company or state that needs it.

Here I'll get you a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Economic_Stabilization_Act_of_2008

Also, check out how many bailouts ocured in 2008... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailout#U.S._Savings_and_Loan_Crisis_.E2.80.93_1989

Indeed...hypocrisy knows no political or ideological bounds.

If we want to get really esoteric, I guess there's some wiggle room for the definition depending on where one considers himself to be on the political spectrum.

Obama didn't take over banks and the auto manufacturers against their will. Remember, they begged the gov't for assistance. Should they have received the proverbial blank check and carte blanche? Until they repay the money (some have), the gov't should own a controlling stake. That's not socialism, it's lending.

Now, if you think the gov't should have just let the banks/auto manufacturers fail and let Darwinism run its course, that's another debate.
