This is nonsense. Even Chavez who is an avowed socialist has not nationalized everything all at once. The popular support for big government socialism is not strong enough to do it all at once, so it has to be done a piece at a time. Obama is a longtime leftist radical so his moves towards a socialist agenda are hardly surprising. He is attempting to mask his radical agenda by using euphemisms like "change" and "stimulus."
Even the Bolsheviks took more than 20 years to nationalize the whole economy in the USSR and they were certainly not "stealth socialists" like Obama. Obama was trained by Saul Alinksy and is using classic Alinksy techniques to implement a hard left agenda against the will of the general populace. He is manipulating legitimate public fears and populist sentiments over the current economic crisis to lead the country down the path towards a state planned and controlled economy. Only his most deluded supporters or leftists propagandists who support his real agenda would dispute that at this point.
