But did he say or have you proof that HE is a communist? Not who he has around him. I know people that have retards around them all day long, does that make them a retard? NO.

I have a bunch of heterosexual friends and I'm a lesbian.
I have a bunch of Christian friends and I'm an atheist.
I have a bunch of white and Hispanic friends yet I'm black.
I have friends that drink alcohol but I don't drink alcohol.

Are you in the White House running our country? This country was wisely founded on capitalism(although sometimes imperfect), so commies should start swimming for Cuba or N. Korea. Communism has killed 200 million people throughout history - read about it.

Maybe you need to re-read what Obama said about the people he surrounds himself with. If his commie friends are so non-threatening, why didn't he make them cabinet membersand not czars? Oh that's right, even the limp dish rags in the Senate would have shot them down.

No country has a completely capitalistic system. I would hate to see our lives if capitalism left unchecked ran everything.

Just think what our fore fathers went through to get here away from English royalty and most all of them were Free Masons

I agree, it shouldn't be unchecked. No business deserves that kind of trust. I also don't trust the government. Communism is a blood thirsty philosophy, when implemented, crushes the people and makes them slaves a la North Korea. I can't think of one Communist country where citizens are allowed to leave. Can you?

For the most part, I am still very happy with Obama. I do not agree with the bail outs, or not bringing the troops home NOW. I wish he would quit trying to be the nice guy and get the health reform through, with the public option. I wish he was a bit tougher when it comes to the Republicans and their whining and such, all in all, pleased with my choice.

I don't think Obama is a Communist.
I don't think we're on the path to Communism.
Business is running so much in this country, it's not even funny. I truly worry for the lower and middle class of this country.

I am in the middle class and I know we need a successful upper class(my business in particular and many others depend on them). You can't save everyone in the lower class, it would be nice, but it isn't possible. Some people's circumstances and motivation levels are beyond help. This isn't being mean, this is reality. If George Bush had outright Klansmen friends, wouldn't that make you uncomfortable? Obama has stated he wants a National Civilian Defense Force, this is a Communist concept, and it is scary.
