I would disagree too if I could stop laughing.

Obama is a dedicated socialist.  Every socialist political movement in 
history has couched itself in terms of "the ordinary people".  Why do you 
think it's 
called "The People's Republic of China"?  Same with Cuba, Soviet Union, 
Venezuela, Uganada, etc.  They all termed themselves as the people's 
government.

Nothing new either.  Recall that under imperial Rome, the government owned 
vast agricultural holdings which it ran by means of slaves, and it did 
business 
under the banner that read  SPQR  (Senatus PopulusQue Romanus  = The Senate 
and the Roman People),

Like every other politician the 'going to the people' is fake.  If Obama goes 
to enough people and they say "We don't want to have anything to do with your 
Liberation Theology or socialism"  do you think he is suddenly going to 
change all that?   </HTML>
