which of course would include, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosvelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and believe it or not, Richard Nixon. So, if you believe that Obama is attempting to radically change American society in comparison the transformative administrations previously listed, here's your chance to support your argument.
Any questions about Obama and his plans for America can be answered by reading or listening to him narrate his DREAMS FROM MY FATHER. Hitler laid out his plans in MEIN KAMPF but very few paid any attention to what he was saying. The pattern is repeating with Obama. Check it out from any library before November 2012.

Well I'll give you this, you have evoked Reductio ad Hitlerum much faster than even Godwin would have predicted.
Honestly, I don't see many differences. Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush, Obama administrations were fairly consistent in their policies. 100% consistency in Foreign policy is absolutely JAW-DROPPING, "globalization", neo Imperialism, astronomical military budgets and global military reach, making world safe for the transnational investments etc. are non negotiable, republicans or democrats. In domestic policy, Carter kicked off the era of dismantling feeble "edifice" of social democracy in the USA (a fluke bastard child of Great Depression and WWII), every president ever since worked tirelessly to promote different aspects of a Banana Republic vision for America.
Nothing personal, but if somebody starts another rant about evil radical Obama destroying and reshaping America I suspect strong talk radio toxicosis of some kind.

Did you really just compare Obama to Hitler? Wow. I guess I should have seen that one coming based on your s/n.
The most "radical" thing Obama administration did is concocting a weird health care scheme that would transfer trillions of taxpayer$ dollars to the private health care concerns in exchange for dubious extension of health care coverage. That what makes a "Marxist" in America today. Pathetic, isn't it? "Marxist" Obama didn't have balls (vision and desire) to replicate much cheaper socialized health care schemes that the rest of the industrialized world enjoys, that would undermine Banana Republic project for America. Consistency, see my post above. Transfer of public funds to the (already obscenely rich) private hands is as American as apple pie.
Luckily it doesn't take much effort for prepaid talk radio clowns to convince eager audience that the sky is falling due to the "radical" in White House. I don't really think that this media clown fest is because of Obama personally. It's just as official American politics reminds me more and more single party politics of USSR (soviets did have elections) because of the ideological convergence of Republicans and Democrats. As official parties become more and more indistinguishable it takes more and more of media hoopla to convince plebians that their participation in the power legitimation circus matters. It takes more and more PR efforts to blow up fairly insignificant differences between Democrats and Republicans (or Romney or Obama) to a battle of good and evil of cosmic proportions.
What am I missing? Sure there is the health care bill. What else is that far outside of the typical Washington status quo? Honestly, the health care bill isn't even what he wanted. It is a sellout to the GOP based on Romney's health reforms when Gov of MA, by giving the money to private corporations instead of running a single payer system. Of course, that won't stop Romney from blasting it.
Besides, even those who oppose the Health Care Reform will admit that major changes are needed in the health care system. They just don't agree that the current reform is making the best changes.
The most radical president in the US history is Abraham Lincoln for the obvious reason. Democracy (including phoney democracy of today) is good only for settling fairly insignificant differences within society and that is why it works . If something that really matters is at stake, no way, now how people would settle that issue in the voting booths, it doesn't work that way. Abraham Lincoln opened Absolute State chapter of American history, odd southern ideas about state being a secondary thing to obey, protect and worship were defeated on the battle field. Lincoln made Second Corporate Revolution of the late 19th century possible (that was more radical revolution than the first one), Lincoln (in the long run) made Global American Empire possible .
Comparing "radical" Obama to Lincoln is beyond ridiculous.
I'll avoid commenting on the ambiguous phrase, "radically attempting to change America". However, Obama is certainly the least progressive of the six presidents you've listed.
