i'm sure he's met a socialist or 2. but no, he's not one. he's a democrat & capitalist, whatever that means these days.

does it make him a socialist if he wants to spread the wealth?
Socialism is the idea that the state owns and operates what we know as corporations. Obama is not a socialist. His healthcare plan could be construed as socialism, but it would be a stretch.

No, "spreading the wealth" isn't really socialism. In a socialist system, small business owners and independent contractors could not exist - they would be employees of the state.
