Yep, I assumed so. Very, very sloppy use of the word "socialist." Just an attack word, not an analytical term.

Socialism is a much different phenomenon.

Social government funded health care. Heavy tax on the rich. Welfare.

That doesn't add up to socialist. If you're not intentionally using that hyped label as an epithet, then you don't know what the word means.

There's plenty to dislike about Obama's platform, IMO. Exaggerating it isn't necessary.
