I think where I part company with most of the Obama/socialist rhetoric on this thread is simply because of definition. My working definition of socialism involves state ownership of assets. Until I see proposals made for taking over companies, physical assets, private property, etc., I'm disinclined to label someone as a "socialist".

At the same time, I feel sure Kurtz is correct in his suggestion that Obama (as most liberals so) has read and pondered the various socialist schemes and philosophies that have arisen throughout history. That would be expected.

What I see is just the classic liberal who has faith in the government's ability to micromanage things. Along with that is the classic liberal desire to advocate for the poor and disenfranchised.
