Today though Obama has done what Ike never could have, or even wanted to - imposed a form of socialized medicine on the US.

    You could go on, you say? Funny, because you didn't really "go on" at all--you posted a few links.

    Here's my responses to them:

    1) This page is absolute shit; I'll address the claim that congress is seizing control of all water if you can find a more reputable source. It's worth noting that the "article" is from 2/7/8. They're moving rather slow, eh?

    2) Nothing more than a powerless politician resting on the fringe. Oil companies aren't getting nationalized. If anything, incidents like the deep water horizon explosion have shown us that their influence on our government is tremendous.

    3) Yet another politician pandering to the masses. Native Americans will remain a marginalized minority, don't worry.

    4) TARP, the stimulus package, financial bailouts, etc aren't socialism, but rather massive wealth transfers to the elite. They're actually great examples of the potential for parasitic behavior amongst the wealthy.

    Healthcare reform (or rather insurance reform) was a windfall to the insurance industry. The mandate requires us to purchase private insurance; it's essentially a private tax. That is not socialization in any capacity.

    That's why the insurance industry opposed Obamacare, I guess.

    Obamacare meets the definition of socialized medicine. It is government regulation of health services and subsidies derived from taxation.
