As Nathan said, the purpose for asking that was to underline the absurdity of the question, because in all honestly, the "he's a Nazi, he's a socialist" crap gets old when you've been hearing both sides make those baseless accusations toward each other for ten years.  Obama is no more a 'socialist' than Romney is a 'Nazi,' and to be quite honest, the word 'socialist' itself is so vague that simply referring to one as such doesn't mean much of anything.  From my own observation, it's generally used as a synonym for 'communist' or 'fascist' or 'Marxist' or what have you, none of which are terms that accurately characterize Obama's ideology.

If Obama's a socialist, so is Bush.

Grow up.

It doesn't matter what you think or feel, but the media and the right wing media discusses the Obama/Socialism issue.  

You're just upset because "Socialism" is seen as a perjorative just like being labeled a "Liberal" is seen negatively.  

Many Liberals embrace socialism, and actually prefer Obama to be more Socialist.  

You can stick your head in the sand, and call out names, but it doesn't stop the media from discussing whether Obama is a socialist or the merits of Socialism.  

You are clearly reacting in an immature emotional way, rather than seeing the reality of Obama's current political situation as it is viewed by both liberals and conservatives.  

Ahaha.  Oh really, buddy?  I'm the one calling names?  I'm not the one who's asking loaded, counterproductive questions with the sole intention of trolling.  Words themselves are not inherently bad, but it is society and the media that make them perceived to be a certain way.  The word 'liberal' is simply not universally accepted as a negative term in the way that 'socialist' is, in spite of how you might like it to be.  Either you obviously have no concept of socialism as an ideology or you are just learning what it is, because otherwise you would not have opened a thread with such a fatuous, vague, blatantly hackish question like this.

I suggest you do your own homework and learn these terms instead of relying on Fox News for your political vocabulary.
