Do you like Ron Paul? Here's his comments about Obama....more accurate than your assessment, imo.

(thnx Overachiever)

It was interesting to see Ron Paul make these comments as this is exactly what I have been saying about the last several Presidents we have had, including Obama. Talk of conservative vs liberal (or even socialist) is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors show for a hypnotized public. The same major donors that put GW Bush in office put Obama in office. Bush1 Clinton, Bush2, Obama--They have all worked for the same masters.

Ron Paul: Barack Obama is Not a Socialist
April 10, 2010, 4:20 PM ET


NEW ORLEANS–Republicans and tea party activists are fond of accusing President Barack Obama of being a socialist, but today party gadfly Ron Paul said they had it wrong.

“In the technical sense, in the economic definition, he is not a socialist,” the Texas Republican said to a smattering of applause at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

“He’s a corporatist,” Paul quickly added, meaning the president takes “care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country.”

Supporters of the Texas lawmaker appear to represent a significant number of the 3,500 attendees here, fueling speculation that Paul is likely to win the straw poll later today. The Campaign for Liberty, Paul’s political outfit, declined to discuss how many of his supporters were at SRLC.

The Texan’s supporters often descend on political gatherings to vote for him in 2012 straw polls. In February, he won the Conservative Political Action Conference’s straw poll with a hefty 31% of the vote.
