Socialism
refers to various theories of economic organization advocating public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.
Wikipedia
^ Newman, Michael. (2005) Socialism: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-280431-6
^ "Socialism". Oxford English Dictionary. "1. A theory or policy of social organisation which aims at or advocates the ownership and control of the means of production, capital, land, property, etc., by the community as a whole, and their administration or distribution in the interests of all. 2. A state of society in which things are held or used in common."
^ "Socialism".Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary
MyTie and Captain Obvious agree:
Obama is a socialist by definition.

If Obama
is
a socialist/marxist by definition, consider this:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States..."
Last time I checked, socialists weren't exaclty our best friends in the US. Anyone see the irony?

I disagree with the idea of a government run economy, but this is not a debate about the merits or downfalls of an economic system. This is a debate about whether or not he is or is not a socialist. Look at the definition. He is. I don't understand what else you want from me.
