No one said Bush hadn't made many slips of the tongue; he's noted for that.  But that doesn't necessarily have any bearing on his intelligence or morality. Compare Clinton's gift of words to his morality.

Socialism is not just government owning and running businesses. Obama is already close to doing that and it's not favored here in America.
It's a system of government that makes everybody equal socially and economically which doesn't place value on work and effort. It also proposes the philosophy that the government will take care of you in all aspects of life. See:
