Ah - glad to see that someone with a sufficient technical grasp of politics has come forwards.
Also, you know a lot more of the inner working of American Society than me , i will admit.
my assesment of him is purely on what I know of his healthcare reforms - and he has not brought everyone in , just expanded healthcare to many that The Free Market did not want to take care of at all.
i applaud him for that - he took the only advanced nation on earth to lack a social health system and gave it something better than it had under Bush - no mean feat. but , this of itself, does not extablish his credentials as a Socialist. Not in Britain anyway. you want to see what a socialist looks like, take a look at Harold Wilson...
