Socialists.com = BarackObama.com

Coincidence?

Clever domain owner plays trick on the president.

Want proof that President Obama is a socialist? Or better yet, a communist? Just type "socialists.com" or "communists.com" into your Web browser, and you’ll be immediately redirected to the president’s reelection-campaign homepage. Coincidence? Not likely. More like the work of someone eager to perpetuate the conservative belief that Obama possesses socialist or communist values. Whoever purchased these domain names remains a mystery, but they seem to be accomplishing their goal. Many have taken to Twitter after discovering the connection, writing things like “Not surprised!” and “Creepy. Proof Obama is a communist.”
