Actually, I'd truly hesitate do any such thing. I don't believe there really is a 'true socialism' or a 'true liberalism'. That suggests a belief system set in aspic. That's just not really how people and societies work.
These things are contextual and contingent on many factors. The fact that you consider Obama to be verging on the socialist is a case in point. What is 'socialist' or 'liberal' in your political milieu is not necessarily the same as in mine. Nor indeed does every socialist share a carbon copy of each other's beliefs.
