Why the hell does everyone keep saying Obama is socialist? I swear to god you right wing idiots have NO clue what socialism actually is.

@lightsinthesky246 the word has lost all meaning just like "fascism" b/c just what you say...they over used these words, abused the definitions with propaganda to such an extent that these words are now used by the lay and by the ignorant to imply "evil"...for example these conservatives use "socialists" &they immediately dont think of people like Rosa luxemburg, they think of the devil...its sad how layppl &non intellectuals have such a poor understanding of the proper use of language

I used to work as a chauffeur for a series of corporate big-shots. It paid well enough, but working for one CEO guy prompted me to leave that line of work forever.

I would constantly drive him to hotels where he would essentially RAPE naive teenage ‘interns’ who thought it might help their careers. My contract had a ‘gagging clause’, but it sickens me so much when I see him now posing as a Charity campaigner, lecturing us all about Africa & saving the environment- I WILL speak out!

"socialist" is the new way of saying "nigger."

Carly's $42 mil from HP is nothing. Home Depot fired Bob Nardelli and gave him $215 mil (when Chrysler hired him I knew the clock was ticking on them failing).

@lightsinthesky246 They took the cap off before passing the bill

Who needs that kind of money...you can afford a house with enough room for your family and enough money for leisure in all the times you aren't working with 1,00000000000th of what some of these executives are being paid in the world.

@virgin4lyfe i read your post and the majority of the items listed are positive. Except, of course, for the ridiculous ones that are pretty much made up. For example. Spreading the wealth is a bad thing? I understand that there are bad sides to communism. but this isn't even communism. It is just spreading money from people who have more than they need helping those that don't have enough.

And pointing missiles at eachother will not make the world more peaceful.
