Yeah, and North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The name itself doesn't mean anything. It's pointless to compare Republicans or Democrats in the US to Nazis, there is simply no comparison. Nazis had one-of-a-kind ideology and the reason they're so despised isn't their extreme right (or left) wing ideas but their xenophobia/racism, militarism, expansionism... which led to the murder of millions of jews, gypsies, gays, communists and others.
As for Obama, he may be slightly left-leaning but he's no socialist. Bernie Sanders is socialist but so what? I don't get where all the histeria about socialism is coming from anyway. Socialism gave us the 40 hour work week, paid vacations, health insurance, maternity leave and the minimum wage... also social security and medicare in the US. Because of socialism, we don't have 10 year old children working 12 hour shifts at the coal mine.
