“First of all, then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama,” Sharpton said. “Let’s not act as though the president didn’t tell the American people – the president offered the American people health reform when he ran. He was overwhelmingly elected running on that and he has delivered what he promised.”Obama got 53% of the vote. Even if every one of those people wanted socialism you can't call that an "overwhelming" win. Reagan winning 49 states - that was overwhelming.
And, of course, most of those people wanted hope, change, rainbows and unicorns, and although they were warned that socialism would result, they didn't want to believe it. They were fools. If America "overwhelmingly" wanted socialism why has Obama's approval numbers dropped into the low 40's and his disapproval numbers into the high 40's? Who's getting "overwhelmed" now?

Lies, all lies. Of course Obama didn't package himself as socialism. The re-writing of history is a never ending task for the other side.
Obama campaigned on voting present.
He was one thing in Pennsylvania and a different guy in California. Even as president he's the perfect chameleon.
Crisis, crisis, crisis -- everything was a crisis, hurry, don't read it, just do it. Following right on the heels of the "crisis" the great O changed his tune, saying "a few years when we thought everything was great, it wasn't as great as we believed (that would have been the Bush administration? Gee, why hadn't he told us that we thought it was "great") and now that we think everything is lost (that would have been the early months of his administration with jobs going into the tank) things aren't as bad as we believe ...."
Do you remember that comment -- I paraphrase it, but he really said this. Like he really said the sky would open, we'd hear a voice, and vote for Obama, and like he really said he wouldn't want his daughters punished with a baby, and like he really said that doctors would rather amputate limbs than treat diabetes.
Of the latter, he's changing the way doctors are paid, but evidently is OKAY with Frankendoctor staying in medicine.
(Of course his doctors were as fictional as everything else he says.)
