Obama said that students should work hard, focus on school is this socialism?

No, Those are just true statements.

No. It's getting near an election in which the Congressional Democrats are going to get creamed. Obama is trying to portray himself as a moderate, as he did when he ran two years ago. It won't fly this time.

Obama's real agenda is to have as many people as possible forget about working hard or getting a good education so they will sit back and let the government take care of them, thus empowering Democrats.

Socialism/Marxism is controlling over 70% of the economy as the govt does now. They should control 0%. Socialism is dictating what type of food what should or should not eat. Socialism is SPREADING THE WEALTH via healthcare bill (Dean and Baucus admitted the bill was about spreading the wealth and not healthcare) and green jobs. Socialism is net neutrality. Socialism is the president having unlimited power to close and bailout any business it wants - in the new financial reform bill. Socialism is carbon trading in sections 750-752 of the new financial reform bill (read it myself). Socialism is trying to get the EPA to outlaw bullets because they contain lead since they can't outlaw the 2nd amendment.

No but it is better advice than "Slack off, forget about school, and post stupid questions on Y!A."

High school is free.
