Obama is not a communist.

[Dovahkiin]

Oddly enough, from what I've seen of this forum, some people actually believe "progressives/liberals/socialists/communists" somehow mean the same thing, and that liberals in america are actually communists. I shit you not. Now, the title is in reference to our current POTUS, a man who is most definitely not a marxist communist. I will now provide reasons why:
Obama the "communist" allowed millions of private sector jobs to be added and has not attempted to nationalize anything I know of, nor has he ever said anything remotely related to communism.

Under President Obama's leadership, the economy has added private sector jobs for 64 straight months. During this span, 12.8 million private sector jobs have been created.

Obama a socialist? Has his administration collectivized the hospitals, turned doctors into a state monopoly, nationalized the insurance companies? Or are we continuing to privatize our security forces, turn school and prisons into for-profit businesses, and let the financial industry self-regulate? President Obama is a market-leaning liberal democrat. Nancy Pelosi is a vigorous advocate of the welfare state and of the social safety net, and she wants to regulate the runaway banks. But that's not communism, folks, that's liberal democracy, and reflects a less egalitarian agenda than the ones pushed by LBJ or FDR.
Bottom line, American politics have played out more or less in the staid middle of the broad political spectrum and for all the noise still do. Yes, an occasional libertarian surge pushes for the revocation of redistribute taxes and an end to government regulation on one side; and an occasional progressivist surge pushes towards New Deal and Great Society interventions in the name of equality and social justice on the other. But when zealots start throwing terms like "socialist" at wan liberal democrats like President Obama, or confusing weak regulation of the health and insurance industries with communist ownership of the means of production, we have not just conceptual confusion and noxious polemics, but abuses of speech pernicious to the very life of democracy.

Tax Relief for Small Businesses

President Obama firmly believes that entrepreneurs and small businesses are engines of economic growth, and that their investments and innovation have been at the forefront of our economic recovery. That’s why he and his Administration have focused on strengthening small businesses by signing into law 18 tax cuts for small businesses, ranging from 100% expensing to the small business health tax credit, to the temporary tax exclusion of capital gains from key small business investments.
Each of the following pieces of legislation established or extended tax cuts for small businesses:
• American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Act
• Small Business Jobs Act
• Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act
• Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
• Affordable Care Act
• Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act
• VOW to Hire Heroes Act

He is farrrr from a commie. People don't know what that word means anymore.. like racist or liberal..
He isn't even a "liberal", going by todays standards. He is a corporatist centrist IMO(or something along those lines lol)
Mind you, the same people that call him a commie, are the same ones that call him a muslim, too

Exactly. In fact the Democrats are even more in the pockets of big corporations than the Republicans. The Republicans are more in the pockets of the big banks. Both parties have been bought and paid for.

Notice that "kooky isolationist" Ron Paul's top contributors were the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and DOD. It's almost as if they care more about not being sent to war than rich people making more money.

Republicans have been bitching for years that this guy is a RINO, and that guy is a RINO, but ignore the only actual conservatives in their party. They deserve who they get.

lol, when you see that, Its saying all those are the mix of the Democrat party. But over the years they are now mostly far left radicalized Socialist, Communist sympathizers, Muslim sympathizers, all corrupted and crooks basically.
. And I don't care what you call Obama. I call him thug myself. You can believe and claim he is: ------------------- fill in the blank

[HenryBHough]

Probably true that Obama is NOT a Communist. Communists frown on religion and He's an obvious Muslim fanatic so almost surely not a Communist. Either that or he's an even-better-rthan-your-average-Democrat LIAR.

Man, these people who keep on calling Obama a communist. These folks get nailed on it again and again. Maybe it was the educational system they were enrolled in. Maybe (and more likely), it's from overdosing on their hyper-partisan blog addiction.
Obama is no more a commie than he is a great president.

He is farrrr from a commie. People don't know what that word means anymore.. like racist or liberal..
He isn't even a "liberal", going by todays standards. He is a corporatist centrist IMO(or something along those lines lol)
Mind you, the same people that call him a commie, are the same ones that call him a muslim, too

Exactly. In fact the Democrats are even more in the pockets of big corporations than the Republicans. The Republicans are more in the pockets of the big banks. Both parties have been bought and paid for.

Presidential Candidate Comparison: Top Contributors, 2012 Cycle | OpenSecrets

Notice that "kooky isolationist" Ron Paul's top contributors were the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and DOD. It's almost as if they care more about not being sent to war than rich people making more money.

In the pockets of corps...That is where it starts. The political establishment sucking up to the large corporations and the super wealthy.
Both of whom see the people as the great unwashed masses who are helpless little insects in need of being led. Those that do not comply are squashed/
Nothing frightens the ruling elite class and frightens government more than a free and mobile populace.
Independent and free thinkers are a problem for both these entities.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Obama the "communist" allowed millions of private sector jobs to be added and has not attempted to nationalize anything I know of, nor has he ever said anything remotely related to communism.

He has not nationalized anything, but he has heavily regulated the health care industry to what I believe will be its detriment. But no, he has certainly not behaved like a Communist.

I don't understand. Are you saying you disagree that he's not a communist. If so what does sucking up to corporations have to do with communism?
