Can anyone explain the whole "Obama's a socialist" line of "reasoning"?

It's all rhetoric. Republicans are just trying to conjure up Cold War-era paranoia and McCarthyism, when being branded as a socialist or communist could really end someone's career. It's not actually a reflection of Obama's policies, which in reality lie far to the right of the Socialist parties or social democrats you see in European politics.
