OBAMA: WHAT, ME SOCIALIST?

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama made light of accusations that he is a socialist. "You've got to meet real socialists," he joked in an appearance at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council. "You'll have a sense of what a socialist is." Obama's attempt to distinguish his own polished, market-savvy façade from more obvious, outspoken socialism may have fooled some in the room. It would not have fooled Saul Alinsky.
