Ron Paul: Obama Not a Socialist

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Ron Paul here.

Republicans and tea party activists are fond of accusing President Barack Obama of being a socialist, but today party gadfly Ron Paul said they had it wrong.

“In the technical sense, in the economic definition, he is not a socialist,” the Texas Republican said to a smattering of applause at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

He’s a corporatist,” Paul quickly added, meaning the president takes “care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country.”
