People who rant on about Obama being a socialist present evidence that our educational system is failing and schools rarely teach critical thinking.

This started my day out with a lot of laughs. You're barking up the wrong tree. The schools I attended were generally regarded as either the best in the country (prep school) or among the best in the country (college and graduate school). The upper class private schools you attended obvious did a bad job of educating you. Maybe they were great schools and your lack of critical thinking development was your fault, not theirs. The fact remains that you are deficient in critical thinking.

I might also add that you note that you are a wounded veteran, as though this is some kind of qualification. You're not the only one around here who has been in the military.

Getting wounded does not improve your political thinking. If I had to choose between military thinkers, I would choose Colin Powell over you any time.

According to you a no account left wing liberal Loser.
JFYI ... I never attended any public schools in my academic career. strictly upper class private schools, (from grades K-12 where I graduated Magna Cum Laude from my high school and # 76 out of a class of 1052 in my Academy graduating class. You on the other hand were probably a Head Start dropout, who rode the short bus to school!

Why do you think he is a socialist? What have you been reading or watching..Faux News? Anytime someone starts in with that socialist rant it speaks more about the person spouting the term than the President's actions. From my experiences in dealing with many people during this election cycle I have come up with sort of a multiple choice answer to the question Why do you think the President of the United States is a Socialist?

Here are the answers:

A.Health Care... I believe the President of the United States is a Socialist because he is forcing people to take responsibilities for their health care by making them buy insurance. Which can also be coupled with..he is forming DEATH PANELS that will determine who lives and who dies when you get sick. This answer can adapted by frightened inept doctors and drug manufacturers who can see the handwriting on the wall that their days of excessive billing are nearing the end.

B.Auto Industry...I believe the President of the United States is a Socialist because he took over the auto industry. This is a popular answer everywhere but where the people have jobs related to the automotive industry. The people who choose this answer are either very stupid that is to say ignorant of the devastation a traditional bankruptcy would have caused or they are using this as a cover story for the fact that they are afraid of black men in power.

C.Government Regulation...This answer is very popular with people who don't understand that the government is the only thing keeping feces out of their food and water. That the safety inspections at energy facilities like oil drills and coal mines keep people safe. These people don't realize that without government regulation and safety standards for the workplace every day on the job could be riskier than a day on the battlefield. They have forgotten that an employer is only after one thing and that is profit.

So which of the above answers do YOU relate to? Let me share one final thing with you. Unless you are at the very top of the income levels in this country and I don't mean you are comfortable I mean you are really affluent, all of the actions you label as socialism will benefit you directly in your lifetime. So you can stop being the jerk you appear to be and give into the fact that the black guy doesn't A) hate you for being white, B) has no interest in your wife or daughter, and C) has no plans to round up the white people and use them for slaves.
