Ex, to answer your question regarding what Obama has done (or should I say trying to do) to make this a socialist state:
1) Raise Taxes
2) Increase Spending/Deficit
3) Create a nationalized health care system (oh, I mean "Exchange")
4) Pressure banks to make risky loans (since when does he have a degree in business?)
5) Change federal rules so small businesses owned by people with disabilities can get preferential treatment for federal contracts (nice, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy...until someone has to flip the extra cost for that feeling, eh??)
6)Double U.S. spending on foreign aid to $50 Billion a year by 2012 (WHAT???)
7)Run a CEO out of a job (ie GM)

There are others, but I do want to say he has done or said he'll try and put more towards Vets and education...both are well worth the money to invest in. As for the rest, we all have our opinions. I just love watching him try and run big business with his czars and such, it's like a horror film when you know the ending isn't going to be pretty.
