Dan La Botz knows with certainty that President Barack Obama is no socialist. He's sure because he's one himself, and finds little in common with the politics of the 44th president of the United States. "I don't support Obama. If I did, I would be a Democrat," La Botz said. "I find it astonishing that people would think he's a socialist. He's given trillions of dollars to bankers, billions to General Motors, created a health care system that supports the health insurance companies ... his foreign policy is consistent with Bush's foreign policy."TPID has previously featured an article by Dan La Botz addressing the question of the Democratic Party's relation to socialism, as well as an open letter from the Socialist Senate candidate to Ohio progressives.
La Botz, of Clifton, is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate this year on the Socialist ticket.
Since President Obama was elected, "socialism" is a word on the lips of many conservative politicians, tea party supporters and political pundits. A CBS News/New York Times poll in April showed 92 percent of tea party supporters believe Obama is moving the country toward socialism - while 52 percent of all Americans held the same belief.
Socialists shake their heads - but they don't really mind the attention.

La Botz is correct. Obama's policies have more in common with Mussolini that with Marx. On the other hand, the Left often does the same thing, describing Bush's policies as capitalist, when he was in fact just as much a fascist as Obama.
