Is Obama really a socialist? Some say so, but where's the evidence?

The assertion is getting louder: President Obama is a socialist, a wealth-redistributing wolf in Democrat's clothing gnawing at America's entrepreneurial spirit.
It's easy to buy "Obama is a socialist" bumper stickers on the Internet. Political commentator Dick Morris said, in a column circulated on GOPUSA.com, that conservatives are "enraged at Barack Obama's socialism and radicalism." Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich titled his new book "To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine."

Oooookay... Socialist? Proof? Hmmm.. I bet FReepers could offer some. Here is a few tidbits to start...
He---
Socialized Medicine
Took over Two of our major car companies
Took over the student loan industry
Has at least 34 former or current members of the Democratic Socialists of America or Communist Party who work in the White House for him
-and that's just to start

No, he’s a fascist.
And here’s another avenue of argument -
“sure, let’s say he’s not a socialist/communist/fascist - how would he be acting differently if he were?”

Nachum, you are to be commended for keeping track with your list.
0bama is pure evil. The proof is in the pudding.

“Socialist” is way too kind to this guy
To: Nachum
No he is not a socialist, he is a Marxist. A full throated,
blood to the elbow Communist.
And beware of humorless megalomaniacs.

How about we just take his word for it?
"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money," Sen. Obama said. "If you had a whole pizza, and your friend had no pizza, would you give him a slice?"

They don’t recognize him as a socialist because they refuse to admit the reality that modern American liberalism is socialism. They prefer to see themselves as in line with earlier classical liberal ideals, rather than how they have kept the name, but thrown out all that classical liberalism stood for. Those classical liberals are the modern conservatives and libertarians.

I can’t believe that they would even title their article as such. The man is clearly a Marxist with a hidden Marxist past and evil goals for America.

Bad analogy. You buy a pizza and someone from the government comes to your house and takes half of your pizza and gives it to your neighbor. If I want to share my pizza, I can. The government shouldn’t make me.
To: Nachum
Easy, watch his mouth move...
To: Nachum
Typical tactic of the left. Get some really wacked left-wingers and have them say he isn't one of them and POOF...all of sudden Obama is a "moderate".
Not falling for it.

Good list. I think for Freepers is simply a matter of deciding what brand of socialism. Many of us contend that he behaves like a Nazi, since he has used his bullying tactics to heavily control industry; e.g., forcing the banks to take stimulus funds and extorting funds from BP. The majority want to label him a Communist due to actions like taking over student loans and health industry.
Perhaps we should coin a new label which combines both? I propose Communazi!

Is Obama really a socialist?.....
Do you really need to ask this question here?
He’s part of the “hate America” crowd. He’s bundled in with all the facists, socialists, communists and anarchists. He hates the Constitution. He hates middle America. He hates us......
To: skeeter
I would if he were a friend.
But some random schmo in Idaho or New York? They can bite me.

I would try but the government will step in and demand that all the people get a slice and some folks are far more deserving than either my friend or myself so we'll be left starving as the resturant fills with uninvited unpaying diners who will eat my pizza.

The recipient would also be audited and taxed for not declaring this "gift".
