Obama Socialism

Google the phrase "Obama Socialism". What do you get? Try google news... what did you find?Do you feel that the label "socialism" is applied appropriately or correctly to Obama, his proposals or his policies?Do Obama's proposals or policies have historic precedents in America? If so, what happened in the past?

I found and article called Blame Bush, Not Obama the article discusses how Obama is not trying to make us a socialist country, but socialism has actually been around since Franklin D Roosevelt. Although that comment was made, in another article I read called Steele urged to label Obama a socialist the author Ralph Z hallow discusses how a man name Mr. Bopp, who is part of the RNC( Republican National Convention) said: "Just as President Reagan's identification of the Soviet Union as the 'evil empire' galvanized opposition to communism, we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism,". He then proceeded to say "The threat to our country from the Obama administration cannot be underestimated," Indiana RNC member James Bopp Jr. wrote Wednesday in an e-mail to the full RNC membership. "They are proceeding pell-mell to nationalize major industries, to exponentially increase the size, power and intrusiveness of the federal government, to undermine free enterprise and free markets, to raise taxes to a confiscatory level." Republicans feel that Obama is trying to create a socialist nation just like the WWII era.

i feel that these remarks made about Obama and socialism arent applied appropriately. What Obama is trying to do is not create a socialist country, but to reconstruct our economy based on socialist ideas.
