Obama, then an Illinois state senator and part-time law lecturer at the University of Chicago, defined “redistribution” as “how do we get more money into the schools and how do we actually create equal schools and equal educational opportunity.” 

According to McCain, this is something to be feared.  Yes, all of you middle-class, white people, you need to fear this—EQUALITY.  What will happen to your way of life if the dejected, the underprivileged, the poor, the needy, and certain minorities become educated?  Yep, you guessed it, a better educated, more productive, healthier society.  McCain keeps trying to associate Obama with Socialism, but any educated person would know that Socialism involves a little more than spreading the wealth so that all are entitled to an equal education.  Socialist groups have openly come out and said that Obama is not a Socialist, nor do any of his policies imply Socialism.  Not once has Obama spoken of the overthrow of Capitalism, and, well, that is a pretty basic part of Socialism.  For a man to have claimed to receive his political education during the Cold War, he sure is misinformed of the definition of the one of the basic political ideals from that time period.   Makes you wonder, could the Cold War have been dealt with in a different manner if people like McCain were not in power with their altered, jingoist definitions of Communism, Socialism, and Democracy.
