Isn’t it revealing, this horror expressed by some leftists that anyone would use the world “socialist” to describe President Obama even if many of them used to worry endlessly that George W. Bush was imposing a theocracy on the nation?

Obama himself recently told a gathering of chief executive officers that he was not a socialist, that he is really just a free-enterprise kind of guy, even though he spent a campaign demagoging their salaries and lambasting oil, drug and other corporations for the practice of making profits beyond his own sense of what’s OK.
