Socialism isn't about gov't control of the economy

If the government controlled 80 to 90% of the economy almost no one would say you don't have a socialist system. Any amount well over 50% would probably be enough.

If you want to recall the older distinction between socialism being the government directly owns the economy, and fascism having the government control without owning, than fine, Obama's moving us towards fascism. And actually he's still moving us towards socialism as he is increasing government ownership as well.
