Obama & Socialism
Google the phrase "Obama Socialism". What do you get? Try Google news... what did you find?I found an article that explains that Obama made a confrontation towards Hugo Chavez and shook hands, and seemed really sudden that Obama just went hand on hand with Chavez after past arguments with Venezuela and arguments that weren't taken so calmly when Chavez insulted Bush (even though I dislike bush).
Do you feel that the label "socialism" is applied appropriately or correctly to Obama, his proposals or his policies?
I do strongly agree that Obama's character in labeling policies and exploiting ideas by speeches has got him into following the socialism path. I would have never thought that Obama would forfeit past arguments that caused many Americans to start changing a view on him. I know that Obama is trying to clear up certain stuff that happened back then, but lets not get all friendly to all countries because one never knows what kind of business other countries might put us in.
Do Obama's proposals or policies have historic precedents in America? If so, what happened in the past?
Well, Obama has taken the recent name of FDR by some similar situations that Obama has handled recently such as the stimulus bills and FDR's new deal. I'm guessing, Obama made his decisions by evaluating strategies from past presidents experiences. Obama's spoken word before he got elected, was similar to many presidents that tried to initiate a great start with some fables, but some serve great while other's almost destroyed the U.S. country. Obama still has time to change any confusions, and personally I think the decisions he makes are by rush of pressure from the economy. As Obama said once "That he would be happy to adopt ideas that work, whether they come from FDR or Reagan."
