Since Bush isn't a socialist, I'll opt for the Bush plan.

No, Bush is not a socialist, but he is an avowed globalist and he is pushing for first a regional and later a global government with his attempt to get every country in the Western Hemisphere to join together in his Free Trade of the Americas arrangement which will further sacrifice US economic independence and sovereignity to control of Latin America. Bush's plan of course is intended to eventually lead to a North American Union and later an American Union similar to compliment the European Union established in 1992. This would first be an economic union with a common currency and later would become a political union in which the very independence and sovereignity of the United States of America was permanently sacrificed to a socialistic regional and/or global government. Bad news for the US anyone you try to spin it.

Globalist = Socialist

Don't kid yourself for one minute.  The EU model gives supreme control to the state.  It does not even allow criticism of the state.  The EU has made it a crime to criticize the EU.  An AU would act the same way.  Neither would allow the leaders to answer directly to the people.

This is Socialism.  It's about as close as you can get to Facism without a dictator.  In effect it would be Facism by committee.

Facism is described by Websters as:

A governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, focibly supressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an agressive nationalism and often racism.

If this doesn't describe the EU I don't know what does.  It's leadership is not elected.  It's leadership has absolute power.  It outlaws discent.  It regiments all industry and commerce.  It is fast becoming an agressive entity that verges on racism.  Note that Israel is blamed for defending itself.  It has come under attack, hundreds of it's citizens killed without provocation.  Now Jewish concerns in Europe are under attack.  The EU's only reaction is to trash Israel, not the terrorists.  What is this if not racsim?

People need to wake up and smell the stench.

The dictionary goes on to describe a facist.  A facist is a person that supports Facism.  Give that some thougt folks.
