I laugh at all this "he's the first black president" when the US/EU policy makers in the past have tried to portray that race is not everything but just a variation of ones skin tone?
I had a History professor at my old college before i transferred, a really bright and interesting man. He said, paraphrasing here of course, That the human race is one race, we call can mate with each other, a black person can mate with a Asian person, an Asian person can mate with someone of middle-eastern race. while a human Can NOT mate with a pig or a sheep, hence they are different races.
the human race FTW!
The only reason his color would be important is because ignorant people have prejudice, even smart people are prejudice, it's the way of the world. and what Obama is able to do in his short 4 years will depend on if he can break his own prejudice as well as the people he has to deal/work with.
Off topic again, anyone notice Russia's current...decisions as of 11/4? LOL

Do you even know what socialist means?
As Auriel said, the UK isn't. Spain isn't. Italy isn't. Germany and Sweden are probably two of the countries in the EU where socialism is more prevalent, but even they don't qualify under the traditional definition. Nowhere in Europe has been properly socialist since the nineties, and even that's debatable.

great. so in these countries there's no public education, no public health system, no unemployement benefits and other form of social welfare payements, no social housing, no affordable/subsidised housing schemes... good. then i'm packing my bags and moving over.

I don't see what's wrong with those...homeless people can be dangerous. If there's no affordable houses, people with current economy situation will become homeless, and insecurity will grow, people being stolen on the streets way much than before, attempts of overtaking governement and administration by revolutioners being supported by extreme left parties.
Want the rise of some obscure neo-leninist revolution? Make sure there's *no* help for houses with current situation. And you'll get it.
A decent right wing party knows when there are things to do, that aren't usually following their program, when it's needed, for the goodness of the country.

None of those things you listed equates to socialism...
