Is President Obama a communist?

I am just looking for your opinion and solid facts to back up your opinion. Not just "he is because glenn beck told me so" or anything ridiculous like that. I am not asking this to ridicule or fight anyone, I would just like to know your opinions and why.

Sources of any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Glenn Beck never said Obama is a communist, only that he surrounds himself with communists, socialist, and anti-capitalists. I don't believe he is a communist, but he did say during his campaign, that if you want to know his political ideology, just look at who he surrounds himself with.

    i admire and understand President Obama, in spite of the fact that, if congress could paintings with him to create jobs the unemployment fee could pass down from 8.6% to nicely under 7% by employing the tip of the 12 months. I do positioned some blame on President Bush and President Obama, yet I place extra blame on congress. i.e. the republicans

    The US is not on the track for communism or socialism. The US is on the track of marrying government power with corporate power which by definition is fascism.

    The use of social programs is more about creating a dependent class who would become a block of voters that would support whoever will keep their entitlements coming. It is not about politics or government structure it is about keeping political power.

    I'm not sure what the communist party has to say about him, but I would guess the answer is no they would not consider him close to being a communist.

    I do know that the socialist party certainly doesn't support him or consider him a socialist. They laid out a long list of reasons why they don't consider him a socialist at a recent rally. For one thing, under socialism there would be 0% unemployment because government itself would create jobs for everyone under socialism. The unemployment rate is nowhere near this amount. They also pointed out several other reasons why Obama is definitely not a socialist.

    Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.

    He controlls GM and Chryster. He controls the mortgage and financial sectors. He's going after talk radio, Fox News and anyone who disagrees with him.

    Next question?

    FYI: The USSR began and ended as a socialist economic entity.

    Well considering that he is black, we can only reasonably assume that if he does show signs of communist acts that it is because he needs more Watermelons or Chicken. Communism is the only system that guarantees his survival 100%

    No. A communist actually has a plan on how to be a screw up. Obama is just a plain screw up.
