Obama the Socialist

Obama is often accused of a socialist. I think Obama's policies are similar to socialism, but not the same. I do not think that the label "socialist" is completely accurate for Obama, but i also think that it is not a bad thing to be a socialist, because socialist views involve having health care and other necessities for paid by the government.Most Americans don't know what socialism really is and that it would beneficial for them, and that there are organizations that they support that have socialistic views.

There have been other presidents that are similar to Obama. Obama's term has been compared to FDR's term because they both came into office at times when the the economy is at an all time low.
Another similarity that Obama and FDR share is they both wanted to make huge legislative changes because of economic crisis's.
