Yes, because the idea of Obama being a "socialist" (or a "socialist muslim") is laughable at best. |
There is one way he (or more to the point, the people he works for) could be secretly pro-socialist: under Marxist theory, the erosion of economic safety nets and exacerbation of the contradictions of capitalism could hasten conditions favorable to socialist revolution. I really don't think they're looking at it that way, though! Besides, in the U.S., fascist reaction would probably be more likely to succeed.
