Duck Tales

Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points for today concerned Obama, and whether he is a socialist or not. O'Reilly seems to think he's not, but he ended his commentary with "If it quacks like a duck, it may not be a duck."

Let's look closer at this, using the 'duck' analogy:

• Obama got his 'wings' underneath him by working as a community organizer with the group ACORN, whose charter is a mirror image of socialist policies.
• Obama got his 'feet wet' in politics at the home of William Ayres, an avowed Marxist and former terrorist. Obama also endorsed Ayres book, with his picture and dedication inside on original publication.
• Obama 'groomed his feathers' amongst a group called the New Party, a group of Socialists based in Chicago. Obama has denied being a member, but Chicago newspapers at the time disagree with that assessment, calling him a member of the group.
• Obama has been 'flapping his beak' about redistribution of wealth, using terms almost identical to that of Karl Marx.
• Obama is going to cause middle America to fund most of the 'bill' he's trying to impose on corporations, either through job losses or higher prices.

So, Mr. O'Reilly, I think there is more than a 'quack' to prove Obama is a socialist.
