Why do Republicans consider Obama to be a big-spending socialist?
   
Are they really that stupid? Don't answer that.

But the left has a totally different perspective than the right when it comes to Obama. They see a "centrist", working more to fix Wall Street than Main Street. They see a "Democrat" that is keeping his promise on healthcare reform by reforming the insurance companies, by giving them tons of money. They see a Democrat continuing to fight invisible enemies in countries half-way around the world. According to some on the left, the right should love Barack Obama.

But they don't. They hate him. Why? Because they believe the propaganda rather than what they see with their own eyes? This is the same guy that brought back the old Iran-Contra spy, Bob Gates, to head the Defense Dept. He put Leon Panetta, a former Republican in charge at the CIA. He left General Petraeus, the hero of the right, in charge of the military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has left more Republicans in charge of important positions than any President of modern memory. He left Bernanke in charge at the FED. He promoted Tim Geithner, the head of the NY Federal Reserve during the Bush years and the collapse of the economy, to Secretary of the Treasury. He listens to Larry Summers, not Paul Krugman.

He did not put any left-wingers or "liberals" into important positions, unless you consider Hillary a "liberal"? In the left's viewpoint, this Administration looks more Republican than Democratic. The President is trying very hard to be "bi-partisan". But they slap his hand each time he reaches out. Perhaps they should be kissing his hand?

New bonfire.

What planet is this guy on?

When your basic philosophy is that those who work and create and move the economy should be PUNISHED to the benefit of those who do not work, create or move the economy forward, then your a socialist.

As for Obama being a bi-partisan centrist....  :lmao: :mental: :hammer: :rotf: :rotf:

Because they're being polite; calling him a cocksucking Marxist traitor just isn't done in most 'beltway' circles these days.

How stupid do you have to be to not know that "big (gov't)-spending" and "socialist" go hand-in-hand?  Don't answer that.  Just look at the kentuck primitive for the answer.

Quote from:

Which demonstrates that the primitive's viewpoint of what is the "left" is so far off the chart they think the left is the right.  And then their mindless little heads wonder why they're marginalized, belittled, spit upon, and poked fun at.

It could have something to do with him spending tons of money and taking over industry left and right.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

19. They hate him because he is a Democrat, he is black, he is smart and he is President of "their"
   
country, which they think of as "God's United States of America". They think ALL Democrats are stupid if not outright evil, they hate all social liberation movements and social welfare improvements since the mid 19th century.
Please remember this; they are NOT using reason - THEY HATE US ALL.
They will lie, cheat and steal to defeat anything any Democrat tries to do and to win back power for themselves.

Good God, talk about projection.
And every time those clowns call him smart I guess they missed it when he said he had visited 57 states.

Liberals always see Democrats who aren't complete moonbat socialists to be centrists.  But that doesn't explain their opinion of Obama.

The only litmus test DUmmies have to the intelligence of a President is: How does he pronounce "nuclear?"

Noted in passing that the DU OP didn't bother to address the "big spending" OR the "socialist" parts of his headline.

When we call Obama a socialist the DUmmy response is, "I wish he was". They don't have the intelligence to figure out just how Obama is pushing us into socialism or maybe I should say fascism.
