Just seen that black Blair who gos by the name of Obama has managed to wreck a $160 billion deal by being greedy about tax.

Yep, nice one !

I've only read the outline of it wilf but it looks to me like he was stopping tax dodging and I can't see that as a bad thing especially in the light of how much company's like Google Starbucks ect have been getting away with over here....not that it makes any difference to your average Joe.

They still would have been paying taxes just not as much as the 35% corporation tax in America. Obama is a socialist anyway so wouldn't say he had the bigger picture in mind.

What are some of the socialist policies he's enacted during his 8 years in office?

I think such simple terms are thrown about a bit too thoughtlessly these days.

Is Obama a full blown socialist, no imo. But he does have a leftward lean relative to US politics. But then I think a lot of people that label themselves as rightwing/conservative have socialist leanings when faced with the realities of liberal economics, particularly the working classes.
