Is Bush a socialist since the government took over AIG when he was in office?

I didn't agree with the Bush bailout plan,(which was supported by Barry) just as I don't agree with Obama's bailout plans.

Giving bailouts alone does not qualify one as a socialist, however Obama has close ties to the likes of Ayers, Dohrn and Frank Marshall Davis and many more known socialist while appoiinting several people who have socialist ties to leadership positions in our government.

Since taking office Obama has taken over 2 large automakers, banks, 1/6th of our economy with healthcare. He is also looking into the possibly capping our earnings. Add to the fact that, Obama has attended several socialist conferences while in New York. After those meetings Obama wrote the wealth and stark racial divisons of Manhattan had a profound effect on him.

From 2006: "The reason they don’t believe that government has a role in solving national problems is because they think government is the problem,” Obama said to approximately 1,500 people at the Kansas Democratic Party Washington Days convention.

Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, said Bush’s political philosophy consists of giving tax breaks and encouraging “everyone to go buy your own health care, your own retirement and security, your own child care, your own schools, your own private security forces, your own roads, your own levees.

For me the last paragraph pretty much tells me where he stands on this issue.
