Although the GOP has accused President Obama of driving the US towards socialism, President Obama has denied that he is a socialist. He has a hard time admitting it is even a "serious" question. Many on the left ridicule those who call Obama a socialist and say they don't know the definition of socialism. Here is the traditional definition from Dictionary.com:
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.What does the largest socialist organization (DSA) in America have to say:
Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.
In order to understand Barack Obama's view of socialism, we need to understand his history. Was he raised as a socialist?

Ya cant beat that one, two punch.

They can’t even get the H1N1 virus vaccine right, and they want to run the whole health care system?
Is the Pope Catholic?
He’s fascist and proud of it.
No, he doesn’t believe in the taking of property be legal and democratic means. He’s more of a maffia/thug type dictator.

Hussein Obama is a socialist and a Muslim. What a combo!
He is a fascist.
“If Obama’s goals were to enact socialist policy, how would he do it?”
Or, to put it slightly differently:
"If Obama were a socialist (which you say he is not), what would he be doing differently than he is now doing?"
Obama is a National Socialist
