And I still am not anywhere near convinced that he is a socialist. I have heard many arguments saying he is a socialist, but none have many facts. Health care is a big one that people call him a socialist for, I don't get it.

And just becuase Fox news has had the balls to report something a couple times doesn't mean they do it all the time or are perfect. They report many false thing as well. Plus some of their "newscasters" report opinions not facts.
11 days into his Presidency is not far enough along to be at a "critical juncture" to be nominated. 9 months in is not long enough to have earned winning it. If he'd been working at it for decades, maybe I could see it, but not a mere 9 months, and definitely not 11 days.

Socialism means the government takes over doing things, deciding things, and running things from the private sector. They are the ones that make the decisions under socialism, not the people. Whether it is creating a government-run healthcare system, or requiring everyone to buy health insurance and being punished with thousands of dollars in additional taxes if you don't comply, that is government making the decisions. That's socialism.

No one said Fox is "perfect", but they are a heck of a lot better than the sycophants at ABC, CBS, CNN, and (MS)NBC. They might as well be a state-run media, for all their objectivity toward him, and they unabashedly did everything they could to get him elected and to not report on any scandals.
