I went with B & C in heart.

How can you be A & B?

Communism (marxist) defines socialist as the interim step from captialism's shift to communism. so to infer he's both is not logical.

Socialism however can exist sans marx without inferring any communism(Marxist) view.
 
well, that explains a lot

I don't think Senator Obama is either a socialist or a communist, but I do think whoever owns the "2008 Election" myspace page sporting the senator's picture is probably a ham-fisted conservative storm trooper without much imagination.
 
Do you believe in redistributing income?

To certain extent. Not complete redistribution, which is what socialism represents. There is middle ground there - the moderate view is of partial redistribution, the socialist view is of complete redistribution, and the conservative view is of no redistribution.
 
Obama is a Social Democrat, much like the Labor Party in the UK. Marxist thinking mixed with FDR-type humanitarianism has influenced liberalism throughout the West. So, as a Liberal, Obama is influenced both by communism and socialism, but not to the extreme of having complete government take over of major industries.
