The Democratic Party is the Socialist Party fool, look around you.

I'm sorry, how?

I'm an Anarcho-Socialist. I talk to my fellow Marxists, Socialists and so on pretty often. They all despise the Democrats.
Democrats are accused of caring about women CEOs more than the poor - one of the running jokes among the left wing is that a Republican would say that 10 people should own half the world, and a Democrat would say that 5 of these people should be women.
Liberalism doesn't even come close to Social Democracy; how could it be Socialism?
I live in Poland. Unlike Americans, we are literally drowning in political parties. Our main Social Democratic Party is Razem (meaning Together). This party advocates for extremely high taxes, welfare and so on. But it's not Socialist. It's not even Democratic Socialist. DemSocs think that we can achieve Socialism via voting; SocDems are like Razem.
I hope that this helps. I'm not trying to argue; I'm merely trying to explain why Democrats are not socialists.

Okay, then why is Obama supporting free trade agreements?

Because those were the same styled trade agreements that Richard Nixon used with China.

If he supports free trade, how is he a socialist? Also, I have never heard a democrat say that they support working-class ownership of the means of production.
