Yell,

You can say it's big government, but it's still not communism.

Obama should move the capital to Chicago or Detroit.
More power for him,less for the bureaucrats

Yell,

Okay, I'm done trying to convince you that Obama isn't a communist. You apparently are so convinced he is, you won't even settle with calling him a Fascist.

Some would argue Obama's Chickencare is helping to save alot of chicks while keeping the predatory raptor away!

I think any sensible person would not think Obama may be a communist. On those precise words everyone should be able to agree.

Justinian I,

Unless he's stated where he draws the line between where he moves the nation at every opportunity and where his desired collectivism ends, you're just wasting our time with meaningless equivocation.

Unless you can tell us how his views differ from communism, you're just spamming. That he wasn't able to get single payer passed doesn't make him not a communist. That he knows better than to propose state ownership and control of anything (which he couldn't get at this time) doesn't make him not a communist. He's certainly pushed for as much state ownership and control as he could hope to achieve.

I've pointed out that he pushes absolutely everything in the direction of communism/socialism/statism. Banks. Healthcare. Local pensions. Various industries, from automotive to crony "green" companies. Everything he does moves in the direction that a communist/socialist/statist/fascist would want.

Sure, this doesn't _prove_ that he must absolutely be a communist beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it raises questions. And if you can't tell us how his ideologies differ from communism/socialism/statism, you're not exactly putting such questions to rest. Equivocating over communism necessarily requiring literal ownership misses the point. Literal ownership means little in the face of actual control and power.

Everything you call free market failures are just your ignorance of the damage caused by the Federal Reserve and corrupt Progressive policies for the better part of the past century. "Liberal-Progressivism" is fundamentally against all 5 suggestions you posted.

I'm not suggesting we necessarily know 100% that Obama subscribes to the ideology of communism. But nobody here has offered any evidence to refute the suggestion. Pointing out that we don't have mind probes to read his thoughts isn't exactly the same thing as refuting _any_ of the evidence and self-admissions that he has statist/socialist/communist/fascist ideology. And anyone with common sense comes pretty close to 100%.

True... bank bailouts and bailouts of failed companies was against the grain of America's capitalist private-enterprise model. Nonetheless it happened and now the Government (which doesn't try to run GM) - like any other shareholder - is entitled to maximise its return; whether through dividends or selling at the best possible share price. Every $ the government makes less than it hopes is another dollar cost to the taxpayer, every dollar the government makes more than it hopes is a dollar's benefit to the taxpayer.

If GM is anxious to buy, it means the share price is favourable for the company to buy back. Which means GM must think share prices are still below market value.

>> As someone who will vote for neither Obama nor Romney, Democrats nor Republicans, you give me a lot of reminders of why I'm doing the intelligent and responsible thing.

GARY JOHNSON!!
