Fox News vice president and Washington managing editor Bill Sammon said in 2009 that despite making on-air claims that President Obama advocates socialism, he privately found the notion rather far-fetched, according to newly-released audio.

Hear the comments in the video at left. Last year, candidate Barack Obama stood on a sidewalk in Toledo, Ohio, and first let it slip to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to quote, spread the wealth around, he said. At that time, I have to admit, that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched.

RUDY AND THE NEW YORK RENAISSANCE....Over at MyDD, Todd Beeton notes that Rudy Giuliani s latest TV ad stanley cup in New Hampshire doe stanley cup sn t mention 9/11 at all. Instead, it s an almost pure paean to the fact that he turned around New York City. New York, Rudy says in the voiceover, was a city that was in financial crisis, a city that was the crime capital of America, a city that was the welfare capital of America 151; until Rudy took over. Eight years later it was sunny, crime free, and the spirit of the people of the city had changed. I think people underestimate this appeal of Rudy s. Including me, probably. Sure, 9/11 is still his meal ticket, but I suspect that an awful lot of his popularity comes less from that than from the widespread idea that he actually accomplished something. Very few politicians can make this claim credibly, and it s a hugely powerful one. After all, if Rudy could turn around New York City, why not America Why not the world We should expect to see a lot more of this: Morning in New York City will probably play for Rudy about as well as Morning in America did for Ronald Reagan. ponent--type-recirculation .item:nth-child 5 display: none; stanley cup inline-recirc-item--id-c8dbe2d4-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c619f5c3d, right-rail-recirc-item--id-c8dbe2d4-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c619f5c3d display: none; inline-recirc-item--id-c8dbe2d4-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c
