I believe this to be a great myth perpetuated by both the American and European medias. The USA has vast numbers of welfare programs, and have promised more in welfare than any European country. There's also a vast difference in the amount of welfare state-to-state. With the exception of Hollande, Obama is more left-wing than just about any European leader at the moment. He's also the biggest spender in the history of the world, and there are many Democrats and regular voters who agree with him.
