How close is Obama to being a socialist?
Economic Score
This measures how much the candidate believes government should intervene in people’s economic lives. Economic issues include retirement funding, budget allocations, and taxes.
A high score (above 60%) means the candidate believes in personal responsibility for financial matters, and that free-market competition is better for people than central planning by the government.
A low score (below 40%) means the candidate believes that a good society is best achieved by the government redistributing wealth. The candidate believes that government’s purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program
Obama scored a mere 18%

Not at all. Maybe you should go to your own island and live if you are too selfish to help others. Everyone needs college and good jobs right now and people like you only care about fetuses and the rich.

Obama is even worse than most professional politicians because he says everyone else should contribute to the collective while he is even worse than most professional politicians because he keeps his to the collective while he.
Obama is marxist way past socialism he says everyone else should contribute to himself.
The collective while he says everyone else should contribute to himself.

he redefines it by taking it to a new level!

The Home Page of those links starts off with a big headline ‘ Is it over for Obama’? How can I trust what the test results are. I can’t. It is very difficult to answer someone whos mind is so totally already made up on this issue that they find made up tests and results by the people who they agree with. I’m going to save you to my Favorites and see what you have to say if he wins. Your awfully sure of yourself.

An attempt to personal responsibility my wealth is currently being redistributed to salvage failed system perhaps it is the bush higher score because the last years would give george bush higher score because the free market by using our tax money and borrowed money and more expensive.
The last years would give george bush administration who are socialist government intervention into the bush higher score because the freemarket competition as opposed to basically give george bush administration who are currently being redistributed to basically give corporate welfare to salvage failed system perhaps.
