Obama = Communist?

Forgive me I havent been keeping up american politics. Do they accuse Obama of being a communist because of his healthcare reforms? As in, they have confused socialism with communism?

SPOILERS:

It all boils down to retarded closet racists. Most of them can't come right out and say they don't want a black president, so they desperately latch onto any other slur they can.

Combine that with the fact that the vast majority of people in general are staggeringly ignorant and breathtakingly irrational, mix in politics as usual, and I'm surprised there haven't been MORE failed assassination plots.

I voted for him. But not really because I wanted to. I just really, REALLY didn't want to let McCain and that stupid bitch win. That was the only reason I voted at all.
