Obama the socialist?

Of all the factually challenged beliefs of the Tea Party, perhaps the most ridiculous is that Obama is a socialist. His economic team are hard-core establishment free market proponents. But perhaps that is cover in his "Kenyan Conspiracy". But in a country whose national security is tied closely with to its economy, a rational argument could be made that the banks should have been nationalized after they almost destroyed our economy with epic incompetence. It would have been easy to sell the public too. Obama went nowhere near that. Case closed.
