Well, look at it this way: sharing sandwiches is, speaking broadly,
socialism. (See--there's nothing scary about sharing resources for our
mutual benefit! It's like having a fire department or a public library
or a credit union!) Perhaps I'm being too generous, but I thought
Obama's sandwich comment was actually a shrewd dog-whistle call-out to
those of us who think socialism is a beautiful thing.
Miles ^^^ CB: How about the way that when Obama says the word "socialism" , it doesn't sound like a bad thing, sort of rolls off of his tongue.
