Given that every president since Teddy Roosevelt has supported progressive taxation (differeing only on the rates), I guess that makes them all socialists, not just Obama.
And given that every western democracy has some form of progressive taxation, that would make them all socialists regimes.

I am also certain that when I compose the case for gun control as a necessary precondition for genocide and hence intimately connected with it, that the case I make, regardless of when I make it, will persuade everyone. Everyone. Even Redux will have an epiphany. It's simply that good and that carefully examined. Oh, it's also put together by Redux's coreligionists; did he know that?.

I've been waiting more than six months now for your carefully crafted dissertation that gun control leads to genocide.
Hopefully, it wil be based on more than my "co-religionists" - the JPFO and other extreme right wing organizations who somehow think democratic governments with checks and balances are the same as Stalin's Russia, Hitler's Germany, Mao' China, etc.
