They're going to call Obama a socialist for his rich vs. poor rhetoric
and it's going to confuse some people, because they've been calling him a socialist the whole time.

They're going to say see! look what he's saying! This proves he's a Marxist!

But he's been president of the United States for almost two years. The GOP has tried to block every single thing he has tried to do, arguing that it is socialist. He has passed three major pieces of legislation, each of which they have called Marxist.

And now, they're going to hear that this campaign rhetoric proves Obama is a socialist. And a few of them are going to see that they're full of shit and they always have been.

1. I think through 2016 they're going to call him 'President.'
The GOP has tried to vandalize this presidency but they aren't getting very far. Obama remains popular and despite the severity of the difficulties the nation faces, voters are not inclined to replace a guy they like with a party without ideas.

2. They have been calling him socialist and carrying signs saying
so, Huge Bill Board depicting Obama, Hitler and Lenin.

No one will even notice--they have done it so many times.

The Republicans are the Party of the Rich. How else do
you think they are willing to say no to Unemployment.
Republicans know their voters are the more affluent.
This is why they are always cutting their taxes. Business
and more affluent have always made up the Republican Party.

Republicans get some working class voters on Cutlturel
issues -- God, Guns, Gays and Abortion. Not fiscal issues.
This group thinks the Republicans keep Dems from raising
their taxes.

3. Then most of America will start calling themselves socialists too.
Because most of the people in America think its time for them to pay and do their part.

4. I think the real message that they're trying to get across is that his programs
"spread the wealth" from real Americans to "those people" who are lazy don't deserve it. Right now it's dog-eat-dog out there. People are incredibly insecure and the easiest way for the Teabag party to play it is to scapegoat those who are actually the most vulnerable. It's pretty sick, but hey, it's the pukes after all.

5. So what else is new
No matter what he does they call him something, so he might as well do something and let them.
