I agree that it's flawed policy with socialist overtones. However, in terms of matters of degree Obama's the bigger socialist.

With McCain, the intent (even if misguided) was a one time fix, not an ongoing program.

With Obama, its intended as a long-term, if not permanent, policy of extensive government intervention in the free market and massive wealth redistribution.
