Obama and Socialism

Some of the articles that I got when I searched "Obama Socialism" on google were mainly about the controversy of Obama being a Socialist. I got similar results when I searched Obama Socialism in google news, Steele urged to label Obama a Socialist, an article I read was about the same controversy. Why Obama's socialism matters gives reasonable evidence why he could be considered a socialist in the past, but I believe that a large majority of his polocies and proposals can not be classified as socialist. Most of his proposals and policies also can beclassified as a precedent act, since he is the president of the United States.
