The remark led Rotarian Lucinda Williams to defend Mr. Obama and question the intelligence of Sen. John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Mr. Broun qualified his remark, saying he believes Mr. Obama’s policies of bigger government and shared wealth are Marxist.
“When Barack Obama is right, then I’ll support him,” he said. “When he is wrong, I’ll fight him.”
Mr. Broun also criticized Mr. McCain.
“I’m very disappointed with the McCain campaign,” he said. “In my opinion, it was inept.”
He said he believes Mr. McCain failed to adequately differentiate himself from President Bush and embrace conservative values.

The woman, Diane Fanning, who works at Sam’s Club, then asked the Democratic nominee about the North American Union, which he opposes.
“I know some people have been hearing rumors about it. But as far as I can tell that’s just not something that’s happening. We would never give up our sovereignty in that way. Any other questions?” Obama asked Fanning.
She reluctantly responded, “No, I’m not going to say it.”
At a rally after the stop, Obama brought up McCain’s accusations that his tax plan is a form of socialism and dismissed it as a political attack.
“He has been attacking the heck out of me,” Obama said, “Lately, he and Governor Palin actually accused me of socialism. Socialism. It’s kind of hard to figure how Warren Buffet endorsed me, Colin Powell endorsed me and John McCain thinks I’m practicing socialism.”
He accused McCain of wanting to cut taxes for Fortune 500 CEOs, “who’ve been making out like bandits, adding, “John McCain thinks>>>>Read the Full Article
