Socialist - a political advocate of socialism

Socialism - a political theory advocating state ownership of industry

Who owns General Motors these days? Oh, yeah, I believe 60% of GM is owned by the U.S. Treasury.

Totally looks like Obama's a socialist by this simple definition, and that's not even bringing up health care. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As always, I'm not trying to be mean, that's just how I see it, and I am open to other points of view.

I never said that those were the only reasons that Obama was elected. Those are however the only answers I got from people my age (23, most of my friends are still in college). Any time I asked for a specific reason they chose him over McCain, they said they hated Palin or I got yelled at.

YMMV, but that was my experience.

Every single time I asked someone who was celebrating that "their" candidate (Obama) had been elected why they voted for him I never got an actual reply besides hope, change, "he's going to fix everything" and that I'm a racist.
