Many many people, voters, elected officials, talk radio hosts, claim that Obama's policies are taking us closer and closer into socialism.
First of all, if you believe this, what policies are taking us this way? And how will we transform into a socialist country?
Most people will point to the health care bill, and how it gives the government too much power.
I might point to George Bush's "No child left behind" act as a similarly powerful bill that wasn't criticized, at least in the mainstream media, for being socialist.
So why has Obama's policies gotten such harsh intense labeling?

From where I am (miles away and not even American) The US has no left wing, just a right of centre and a right wing.
Any move no matter how small will be interpreted as a move to the left!
I don't know why there has been no established left wing, why is it not in the DNA of the US citizen?
This is not a jibe, I just would really like to know!
