Actually - what we have to fear in terms of Obama is fascism - The fascists oppose both international socialism and liberal capitalism, they claim to provide a realistic economic alternative that is neither laissez-faire capitalism nor socialist. They favor corporatism, believing that the existence of inequality and separate social classes is beneficial . Fascists argued that the state should play a key role in mediating relations between these classes.An inherent aspect of fascism is economic dirigisme, meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controling production and allocating resources and profits. In general, fascist economies are based on private property and private initiative, but these are contingent the interest of the state - which functions as an autonomous - self-interested entity.

The stupidity of the some talking heads in the media crying socialism with ignorance that raises question of the quality of education in political science at schools they went to.
