reform vs. revolution......capitalism can be reformed under socialist ideas. african socialism in that time was pretty mainstream. don't paint it to be like he was plotting some evil scam. how the fuck did he get elected then? seriously.............. he advocated his "socialist" views and america bought it. healthcare wasn't dropped outta no where. at the time people didn't think socialism when they heard about his healthcare plan. they thought.........hey that would really be nice for millions of unfortunate americans who die every year because they can't pay for a hospital. yes people can and will abuse it. but its the fact that he's not this crazy guy no one expected. if anything he's lied about refining congress. he finally realized that he's powerless in that situation and has backtracked his firm stance to "can't we all get along?"In 1965, when Obama was 4 years old, his dad, writing as Barak H. Obama (the Communist-preferred spelling) wrote an essay on African Socialism and its Applicability to Planning in Kenya.
