On Obama Being A Socialist...

This is Obama's response to accusations by the McCain campaign that his tax policies are socialist:

"It's true that I want to roll back the Bush tax cuts," Obama said. "John McCain calls that socialism. What he forgets, conveniently, is that just a few years ago, he himself said those Bush tax cuts were irresponsible. He said he couldn't 'in good conscience' support a tax [cut] where the benefits went to the wealthy at the expense of 'middle-class Americans who most need tax relief.' That's his quote. Well, he was right then, and I am right now."
