Obama worst socialist ever...but what does it mean?

I'm glad to see that people are actually looking up the words "socialism" and "capitalism" in the dictionary, since these words -- especially socialism -- get thrown around quite carelessly in U.S. political discourse. Judging by the number of times you hear the "socialist" label applied on talk radio and FoxNews, you'd think there were more socialists in America today than in Russia circa 1917.

The truth is, there are no real socialists left in America anymore, at least not in government. It's a bogeyman label used to scare independents and keep deer-like Republicans in line. 

There have even been attempts by conservatives to re-define socialism to cover just about anything to the left of Sen. Rand Paul.

President Obama is certainly not a socialist, or if he is, he is the Worst Socialist Ever, as I've noted before. A true socialist in the White House would not allow the One Percent to to take 93 percent of economic gains since the Great Recession, or stand idly by while U.S. corporate profits reached an all-time high.
