There is NOTHING socialistic about Barack Obama. He believes in a liberal democracy with a stronger approach to making it possible for every body in your country to enjoy basic human rights and welfare benefits.
Is that so bad?

As I said, you're not as informed as you think you are about Obama's socialist beliefs. You're probably focusing on what he says he'll do as president. If you believe in campaign promises you're pretty naive.
His childhood mentor Marshall Davis, was a communist
While at school, went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union.
He has many dealings with Bill Ayers, a socialist and domestic terrorist.
He was a member of the Chicago Socialist Party, the Chicago New Party (a socialist party), and the Chicago Democratic Socialist of America.
As a senator he has been endorsed by the Marxist party's Frank Chapman who wrote "Obama's victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle," Chapman wrote "Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."
He is quite socialist, and when he becomes president he will implement a socialist agenda.

Capitalism will do just fine.

Speaking of rhetorical questions. The questions I asked in my previous reply to you were not rhetorical.
