I think you missed the point of Ma-ake's post. He's suggesting that when most voters decry Obama's socialism, they're really just upset about the possible reversion to pre-Bush taxation. But that in and of itself is not socialism. If it were, then by that definition McCain and a whole host of others are socialists -- originally McCain supported the pre-Bush tax rates and opposed the cuts.
