Interesting.
So it tastes like it, but isn't quite a socialistic agenda.
When does it become a socialistic agenda?
I'm missing the line where he could be called a socialist and a progressive.
It seems to me that the media and the adminsitration itself refuses to call themselves that only because they know that they haven't got a chance to run in the U.S.
