This portrayal is sad, but very common. The reason why Obama is dubbed
socialist" by right-wingers is because his policies involve statism
and not of the kind that simply gives sops, a.k.a. tax cuts,  to
erve the short-term interests of businesscritters while protecting
apitalist property rights). But there are even Leftists who consider
tatism to be socialist.
