In the United States calling someone a socialist is often an insult, striking at the heart of American individualism and raising the fear of government fingers in everyone's business.
The word's powerful negative connotation prompted Obama to call The New York Times back after an interview to belatedly respond to a question on whether he was a socialist.
"It was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question," Obama said, defending his policies as consistent with free-market principles.

Good...More and more people are starting to understand, and fight back. Socialism will not work here. You can try, you can come close...but no cigar. Go back to Europe or the Middle East. Oh wait! Europe is starting to rebel against Socialism also.
