He's a marxist. "Socialist" is a euphemism at this point. When, if, it's ever revealed the extent of the media's betrayal of the American people, the media will reap the whirlwind.
Sometimes I wonder if he isn't more like Hitler was. Hitler WAS NOT a socialist. He wasn't a Capitalist. He wasn't a Monarchist. he was a CON MAN. He played all of those factions on his way to power, telling them exactly what they wanted to hear and making deals he had no intention of keeping. Hitler led a socialist party- most of the members and followers at least held a nominal devotion to Marxist ideas, but Hitler himself? He was in it for Hitler - for the power, the control. For revenge upon those who had crossed him on his way up, and for building a legacy for himself.
Obama has done the same - making deals with Big Pharma, in cahoots with the big banks, playing the Marxists, their parties and their unions. Sometimes I think Obama is a True Believer, and sometimes I wonder if he isn't just playing that part for the moment because it advances his personal agenda and feeds his malignant narcissism. If that is the case, he is probably more dangerous than if he were a true believer. True Believers are easily manipulated by their handlers- and it seems at times that Obama breaks free of them and just goes rogue. Other times, he seems genuinely dedicated to the Marxist cause.
IN the end, I think he is just a smart ass punk- essentially the same one we saw in the Choom gang, with a long held and deeply believed hatred of imperialist America and a grand overestimation of his own competence and importance. He may not care if its Marxists or Capitalists who prevail: its his goal to bring down the Great Satan of America, and using our factions to defeat and ruin us is exactly according to his plan.
