So is that a yes?
Sure, marxist, socialist, communist, whatever, call it a yes.. I am not going to sit here and read the dissected definitions of each however. Suffice it to say, his views are in favor of the power of govt. and not the individual.
Socialists and communists killed more of each other than the capitalists and communists ever did.

See how stupid this conversation is?

That had more to do with the personalities involved than economic ideology.

Socialism and Communism are on the same axis, the only difference being the level of intervention on the governments part (with communism being on the extreme end).

Well of course they're on the same axis, I'm just pointing out its idiotic to throw words around with such broad meanings... if Obama is a communist, call him a communist, don't call him a "socialist".... lowing calls him everything in the book.

actually enmity between socialists and communists has often historically been very overtly ideological and political.

Right, but the specific 'killed each other more than capitalists and communists' was referring to Hitler vs Stalin. Neither really gave a fig about economic ideology, they were focused on their own egos.

It's a matter of degrees, but they still fall into the same ideological family.

well technically you could say the entire political spectrum from the 1700's onwards falls into the same "ideological family".

Obama's problem is that he all these great ideas but is more worried about getting re-elected than actually implementing them.

Yes, that tends to happen in democracies.

edit - and especially in two-party systems.

Because they don't mean anything. Or rather, they're so arbitrary that they can mean anything. Stop asking us to dumb down our language because you refuse to learn anything.

Yes he is. But he promised change. And I ain't seeing much. Ive never seen a presidential campaign build so heavily on this "change" so you would expect him to have the balls to carry them though. I remember the BBC having a "change" count ticker counting every time he said it in one of his speeches during his election campaign he took to saying it so much.

But as usual a politician puts his and his parties priorities before those of the country.

I suppose you can balance the things he didn't do against the things he might do if he gets a second term. At least that's what he will be counting on to get reelected

One 70 year old guy who is a little on the radical side of politics steps up and says something stupid...

only seen it mentioned at all when one or two crazies at a Tea party rally were holding signs... and thats really just what they were, crazies.  Its not a pointless accusation at all.  At the same time, its not a reflection of the tea parties political beliefs.

are you saying that the birther movement has nothing to do with race?   

this video is relevant...



This is what every person involved SHOULD be doing... McCain handled it with class.
