You are correct. I did a bit more research on him and found this.

He supports paying farmers tax dollars not to grow on their land. Supports the government being able to tell women what they can do with their bodies. Using tax dollars to bailout Bear Stearns. Voted to spend $75 million on an abstinence program in our socialized school system. Voted to give scientists our tax dollars to study embryonic stem cells. Opposes allowing Americans to gamble their own money (unless it's an Indian casino). Supports making it illegal to burn a flag. Voted to set aside 10% of our highway funds for minorities and women. Wants to spend our tax dollars on the war on drugs in our socialized school system. Supported giving tax dollars to Indian tribes so they could fight meth addiction. Supports using $5 billion dollars in vouchers to pay for kids to go to private schools. Voted to ban where our oil companies are allowed to drill. Voted to give $3 million in tax payer funds to studying bear DNA. Has a track record for supporting our socialized national parks. Spend more money on our socialized military. Voted to allow illegal immigrants to participate in our social security system. Supports funding of AmeriCorps.

This doesn't include his supporting of our socialized education system, socialized airports, and socialized highway system.

Obama is a socialist, you are 100% correct. My bad.
