Is Roubini a scholar? I would say so. Not to impugn your place in the world of scholars, but i would say his word carries more weight. He calls Bush a socialist. You said No scholar would call Bush a socialist.
Wouldnt that make you...WRONG??????
Now try to talk your way out of it classy guy.

Roubini is certainly a scholar. If I did say that NO scholar would call Bush a socialist than yes, I was certainly wrong. I should have said that the overwhelming majority of scholars would not call him a socialist.
You can always come across a few guys that disagree. The same holds true with global warming. The people that deny global warming all trot out the one or two guys who deny that it is real and then argue that there is disagreement among scientists....when there isn't really much of a disagreement at all.
The fact remains that by MOST intelligent estimates, Bush is not a socialist. I think it stands to reason that the people that actually ARE socialists would be a pretty good judge of who qualifies, and they certainly wouldn't classify Bush as being one of them.
