Obama is one of the most radical presidents I have seen in my lifetime. His idealogy is made known by both his words and his actions, and the only two things he ever did in his entire life, his two books, about himself of course. The only real difference in him than I can see compared to some others, is his persistant arrogance and complete disregard for anything even remotely associated with American values, and his openness to his ideolgy, most try to hide some of that. He is up front and not hiding a single thing, he feels he doesn't have to. And why should he. There is a far left movement in place for a long time, he has plenty of supporters. As far as what America is supposed to be, he is way radical, he is way inexperienced, and he way out of touch with the average American as he has not experienced much of anything a normal American has experienced. He can't even use a calulator, or believe one, his ideolgy does not allow for any logic in anything based in math.
Want to see a real far-left Marxist, who actually gets attention and has power? You'll have to go to Europe for that.
I could disagree...we do not have to go to Europe to see what they have...we just need to look at what we have now. The feds are suing states, cracking down on individuals, denying them of parts of their constitution (article 4 section 4 for one of many), he has signed legislation that forces people to by a product, used his signature to condone spending tax money on many very questionable things, signed legislation that forces you to pay for failed private companies, taken over banks, and has used the office of the president of the United States as a political tool. Are there others who have done this? Well, yes....but so what? This is big stuff no mater what you throw in the mix to make it seem trivial.
Obama is the sum of what has been crashing this country for decades. And it's right there in your face. Entire cities have been taken over by his ideologies already. He is the enemy, and it doesn't matter you think the ememy is the one before him, or before that...that does not matter in the least. What matters is right now because there is no going back, only forward.
