This article was written by Harold Meyerson who wrote this article for the Washington Post, in which this article appeared. The article was written in response to critics of President Obama who feel as if President Obama has turned to socialism as a way out of the financial crisis America finds itself in. I have no idea who this article was directed to because I could not grasp its full meaning. I would guess and say it was written to the American public and those in political office as well.
Mr Meyerson basic argument is that President Obama is not trying to set up a socialist government but is trying to reform the capitalist system we now have. Mr Meyerson seems to believe that because of the lack of oversight on the capitalist system many have brought it to its demise, or neat demise. Mr Meyerson point is don't blame the direction of the stimulus package on socialist agenda but rather blame it on the out of control capitalist society. Capitalism caused its own overhaul and if President Obama realizes his agenda, what should emerge according to Mr. Meyerson who calls himself a democratic socialist is a more social, sustainable, competitive capitalism. I put my trust in God's system not capitalism or socialism. God's system is the only one that will last and have unmeasurable benefits!
