Obama isn't a socialist.
Tell you what's worse than socialism - and that is what we have and had going on for ages - paying people welfare and not training them and not putting them to work.

What you are referring to more accurately would be called in the States as "hush money."
We've paid out welfare, AFDC, and a host of other benefits to keep those people who receive it from looting. Of course, the people that are paying for such nonsense are themselves being looted, namely the taxpayers.
Since the recipients of such payments can receive them for years, they have no incentive to work or attempt to get work.
Obams's brand of entitlements certainly is socialism. It cannot be called capitalism because it's funded by the government, not the private sector; there is no exchange of goods (money is being paid out with no revenues to match it).
European welfare statism has put a brake on their economies' growth for decades, since most the fuel for such outlays has been in the form of staggering tax burdens on individuals and businesses. High labor costs also have translated into higher unemployment rates. Worker productivity is also somewhat lower than in the U.S.
Our competitive advantage is evaporating, however, and the staggering debt can only pull down our standard of living. In that respect, we are heading toward socialism, since its aim is to reduce every individual to the lowest common denominator.
Fallingman: Don't sweat it RQ. He and the other old crusty never really acknowledge counter-argument at all. To do so would meant they would have to have something constructive to say or to open their minds to minor failings in their political religion. Mock and sni**er is all they are good for. Dude suits them as an opponent as he always uses a sledgehammer. Even then they just laugh at him without engaging in real debate.
Fix your fence and get out in the sun!
Comedy hour... I'll buy the drink.
Wish I could find something of substance to rebuff. But when foreigners get their information from DailyCos or The Huffington Post... I see it as a worthless endeavor.

Do a little legwork. Most of those execs are now in the Obama administration. I've provided the list before...so I won't do it again.
Indyfella: Funny...I got the same rush when I saw you post something factual.

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

and this one....... In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

But in a free society, those who commit cromes see the end of a noose or the last thing they see is the end of a barrel and a muzzle flash.

The Who
"He knew who I was, at that time, because I had a reputation as a writer. I knew he was part of the Bush dynasty. But he was nothing, he offered nothing, and he promised nothing. He had no humor. He was insignificant in every way and consequently I didn't pay much attention to him. But when he passed out in my bathtub, then I noticed him. I'd been in another room, talking to the bright people. I had to have him taken away." -on meeting George W Bush at Thompson's Super Bowl party in Houston in 1974
