It starts of all exorcism then about 4 threads down starts on about Obamas a socialist, as though there is something wrong with that.
Here's a quote from RationalWiki about why Obama and the other democrats aren't socialists.
Quote:Some people say that the Democratic Party in the United States are socialists, specifically Barack Obama and the 2008 version of Hillary Clinton.
This is bullshit; the Democrats are capitalists[citation NOT needed]. If they moved left enough even to approach socialistic beliefs, even so far as such factions as the right wing of the Socialist Party USA, they would start being ignored by the Biased Conservative Media.
Why are the Democrats not socialist? Well, it's quite simple. Rather than going into every single way in which they're not, let us look at possibly the most important aspect of socialism, common ownership of the means of production, thus the abolition of class. The Democrats do not support this, hence are not socialists.
The only mainstream American politician approaching socialism on the federal level is Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who self-identifies as a democratic socialist, although he does caucus with the Democrats out of convenience.
Some Democrats, such as Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich, may be social democrats. Social democracy being a "middle-way" between democratic socialism and capitalism.
And here's a video from the Colbert Report when 2008's Socialist Party candidate explains why Obama isn't a socialist.

I've actually shown this video to somebody who claims that Obama is a socialist and he didn't change his tune one bit.
