Many think that conservatives threw around the word "socialist" too much during the election last year. Personally I don't think so because I think Obama is fundamentally a socialist, but I understand that he wants to get re-elected, so he has to go slow on his socialist agenda. Socialists have taken over the "green" movement, and are now using it to try to achieve their goals of equality. They would like to achieve a situation of equality that has been attempted in all socialist and communist states, that is, where everyone is equally bad off. Carol Browner is the person the left currently has their hopes pinned on to bring about this happy state where the standard of living in the US is that of a third world nation. Carter tried to achieve that, but was voted out of office before achieving success; Obama is trying to profit from Carter's experience by not going too fast.
