I do not get involved with serious political discussion - on this board or ever - so this will be my one and only sober statement on the subject and that's it. I'm not saying Obama has all the right answers and we should go along with everything he says. I do believe his intentions are in the right place. This country needs a serious reset button. Congressional and senatorial positions were designed in the constitution to be voices for the people. They haven't been that for years. Even at the local level, politicians are so scared of not getting re-elected, that can't just do the right thing, they have to do the most cautious thing and they have to act in the best interest of their re-election campaign. "We must keep our phony-baloney jobs gentlemen. Harumph, harumph, harumph."

If you feel it's necessary to call fiscal redistribution socialism, then so be it. If that label helps you sleep better at night, fine. The 4% that control wealth will always have more money than you or I could ever dream about. Why shouldn't they give up a bit more to help out the rest of the country that feeds their wealth on a daily basis? The Greeks had it right - all things in moderation. If moderation is observed with regards to fiscal redistribution, then smack my kid and call me a socialist. There's no negative connotation to doing the right thing, no matter how the right wants to label it. If the extreme right is that patriotic, they shouldn't care about the color of the skin of the man with the plan - they should be evaluating the plan based on its merits regardless of the petitioner.

Party politics has always been the biggest impediment to real democracy ... and more so in today's mass media circus than at any time before. No matter what intentions they start off with, they always become self-serving agencies.

The mass consumption side of US politics is so simplistic that using terms like Socialism, or letting them being used out of context, is dangerous. Socialism is pejorative word in US politics, and using it to describe Democratic Party politics is also pejorative ... and wildly inaccurate. What Obama is trying to do is a kind of watered down neoliberal Third Wayism ... which is a centerist species (some would say abomination) of Social Democracy used by center-right political parties to masquerade as "left" (see the monster Tony Blair created). Socialism is a million miles away from this. Has real Socialism ever existed in US politics? Maybe it gathered some momentum in the 30's ... before the war put an end to that.

That's not to denigrate things like the PPACA which is clearly a vast improvement on the way things are. Still a long long way from having a proper health system, and a step sideways rather than a step in the right direction, but better than nothing. Socialism it aint.
