The Issue: Reports that Obama would like to act like the fictional Sen. Bulworth and reveal his core beliefs.
***
Kudos to The Post’s Kyle Smith for showing more curiosity and integrity about President Barack “Bulworth” Obama’s core beliefs than 99 percent of the so-called journalists working for other newspapers around the country (“Obama Admits He’s a Socialist,” PostScript, May 19).

Obama is a socialist?
What a laugh.
Would a socialist continue George W. Bush’s war policies and make permanent Bush’s temporary reductions of civil liberties with the National Defense Authorization Act?
Would a socialist hire Wall Street insiders to revamp Wall Street? Would a socialist roll over and play dead to any right-wing objections on a host of issues, from Guantanamo Bay to health care?
If Obama admitted to me he was a socialist, I’d pull a Lloyd Bentsen on him and say: “I know socialists. Socialists are friends of mine. You are no socialist.”Gary Drake
