For one thing, Obama for better or worse is carrying on the job of projecting US power around the world -- for example, in Pakistan, where he's using unmanned drone attacks to kill members of the Pakistani Taliban.
Mao would call this "western imperialism" and would completely oppose it.
Mao probably also wouldn't approve of Obama naming Wall Street veterans Tim Geithner, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers to top positions on his economic team during his first few years in office.
Mao would call this hiring "capitalist roaders" to plot the future of the US economy -- a really bad move for any serious socialist.
Again, Mao would probably despise Obama's approach to stimulating the US economy, which has mostly occurred through tax cuts for favored industries and outright subsidies -- for example, the notorious Solyndra loan -- to capitalist corporations favored by the Obama team. Mao would say this is not socialism at all, but "crony capitalism" of a sort that even Sarah Palin has been able to recognize.
Mao would be especially appalled by Obama's health care reforms. Rather than committing the US to a "single payer" system of health insurance, like France or Canada, or even a national health service, like Britain, Obama and the Democrats chose to adopt the "Romneycare" approach -- using the US government to force individuals to purchase insurance from private health care companies.
"This is not socialism; it's close to being fascism," Mao would probably say about Obamacare and Romneycare alike. "This is the government using legal means to force the American proletariat into supporting the capitalist health insurance industry -- an atrocity for real socialists!"
So no, Mao wouldn't be proud of Obama's policies or call them socialist. Mao probably would call Republicans who trot out this hoary old accusation of Obama "morons" and "lying scumbags."
Mao might also consider lying Republicans like this a fantastic communist asset, since they are doing their best to confuse Americans about the real differences between socialism and communism.
Yes, all of the classic socialist leaders of old would be proud of him. He is slowly taking the country down the path and slowly taking away our liberties. Soon we will wake up and say "Oh $hit!!"
People think I am crazy when I say the OWS groups and all of the finger pointing going on are slowly pushing us to riots in the streets. It is possible we will see major riots around the time of the political conventions in the US.
I dont see how Obama gives money to save corporations is socialist. How can he be socialist and be muslim like cons claim. The lies are getting all tangled up. Give us a break already.

Yes he would. He would indeed. Stalin, Hugo Chavez, Castro etc. would ALL approve of his actions.
Intentional ignorance of the truth = liberal insanity.

Mao was a COMMUNIST. Not a Socialist. Perhaps you should just remain ignorant quietly in the future.
Mao was communist.
Believe it or not, socialism is not the same as communism. Can cons get that through their skulls?
Good lord, give it a rest about the socialism. You would not know a socialist if it bit you on your bum.
No, because Obama is a capitalist.
Sorry to let a little thing like reality spoil your good hatemongering of Obama
This is a show of how sick the communist republican Party is.
They are so racist they can not see Grover Norquist and Koch taking over as if they were Bain Capital
No, Mao would be proud of whoever programmed his teleprompter. ;)
