Barack Obama Criticizes Bush For Not Being a Socialist

Our beloved Senator accused Bush of 'Social Darwinism' as if the president wants to kill people with lower incomes.

"It's a strategy that we've seen this administration pursue over the last six years, that basically says government has no role to play in making sure that America is prosperous for all people and not just some," Obama said to applause during an appearance before the Communications Workers of America.

Hey Barack, the government can't make all people prosperous, any more than it can make all people rock stars. The only thing that government can do is to try to foster the conditions under which people are free to pursue their own prosperity. The only thing that policies like those that you propose will accomplish will be to make people dependent on the government.

You want to tax individuals and businesses excessively. You want to increase government regulation of our lives, with the inevitable result of reducing our civil liberties. You want people of some races and gender to have preferences over others.

All of your fawning sycophants in the lefty media are talking about how you are so new and unique. There's nothing new about anything you are proposing. Your ideas are nothing but old, rehashed socialism. It has been tried in various forms all over the world, and the results have been dismal.
