I guess we can agree that original allegation is false...that President Obama really has accomplished quite a lot. Now the only question is how the entire list can be categorized as "socialist".

Let's see, being only roughly selective from the list...embryonic stem cell research, signed into law the ability of a woman who proves pay discrimination to sue her employer, appointed first Latino to Supreme court, families of fallen soldiers have expenses covered to be on hand when the body arrives at Dover AFB, closed offshore tax havens, increased pay and benefits for the military, etc. Yeah, that really sounds like a list of socialist accomplishments to me.

Let's review. Definition of "socialist": member of a political party that supports the theory of economic organization based on either public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources.

Yep, sounds like a thoughtful criticism to me. But the question still remains, Wayne. Why bother?
