He is a marxist, and their agenda is always to divide and conquer, then swoop in to provide a "job" and government handouts, making the populace ever dependent on the government dole. Paving the way to subservience en masse. This is his aim and passion. And once we are all under government rule, what a truism his platitude will be: "we are all united".

I've said this once and I've said this before, as someone who has actually spent some time in Moscow immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union and has a bit of an inkling about the actual tenets of communism and Marxism, I can say with absolute confidence that anyone who claims Obama (or Clinton for that matter as their platforms are very similar) is a communist has no idea what the hell they are talking about.

Maybe there is a continuum or spectrum of the idealogy. Maybe Obama could just be considered communism "lite"?!

NO.

J33 is right.

You clearly have NO clue what Communism really is and you can't expect people to take you seriously if you don't make rational statements. Like many other people's comment here (maybe even most) your claim was so "over the top" as to be silly.

All these ignorant "Hillary is power mad", "Obama is a Commie" really are little more than troll remarks.

Communism
A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

Sounds exactly like the "Utopia" Obama/Clinton espouse. Everyone will be equal, all will be fair, those who succeed will subsidize those who don't, etc, etc, etc.

He has more money than Hillary, and he has supporters willing to run in front of him picking up coffee cups like Halle Berry and a wife that is really, really proud, and folks like Christ Matthews with chills running up his leg when he speaks, so what can't he win?? What is wrong with him?
Hillary was the front runner. Large national lead and presumed nominee. Why couldn't she close the deal months ago?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I take consolation in my good opinion that Obama has definite communist leanings, and furthermore I may not be the only "silly" one here.
