I know, all forms of communism are the same too, right? All modern countries have forms of "socialism" btw. Public education is a form of socialism. Public works, such as roads and bridges, again is socialism. The freakin' local fire department, again a form of socialism. You are spreading the cost out for public services amongst the "people" for the public good. Government gets more money from the rich as opposed to the poor to pay for itself and public services.... Under a socialistic government risks would be made private and benefits would be made public.. that is a "redistribution of wealth" Under our system (including Obama's reign) we have managed to make risks public and privatize gains. This is NOT socialism. I know you want to think Obama is this socialist, but his ACTIONS are that of someone who wants to make risks within the economic system PUBLIC and privatize gains. They would have implemented Glass-Steagall if they really wanted to reform our system, instead, as with healthcare reform, the democrats half assed it, making it only marginally better than it was under Bush
