Obama was chosen by Wall Street just as Romney was. He happened to be given more money for his election campaign and this is why he won.

If you call being a lapdog of big corporations and big banks, acting to further enrich the 1% that practically owns America by cutting their taxes,outsourcing and destroying the American middle class "socialism", then definitely Obama is a "socialist" ... just as his paymasters from Wall Street are "socialists" too.

"The free" are who? Those 300 fat parasites who possess more wealth than 155 000 000 hard-working Americans? The 1% that control and rule the country as if it were their fief ? The American plutocrats and their non-American counterparts that buy politicians to issue laws through them which will allow them to rip off the defenceless public more effectively than ever before ?
