????...why do you try to make this about either me or you?....I could give a fuck what alters you bow at and you have previously expressed your disdain about mine....
the issue was raised regarding Obama and his appointees, one of which stated that Mao was one of the philosophers she turned to most often.....you're simply being disingenuous if you want to argue it's because of his hairstyle..... "one" of the philosophers....does not me the ONLY philosopher. Who were the others, I wonder?
Obama has a political history....when he was engaged in Chicago politics he sought out the endorsement of the New Party, a group so radical that the Green Party was embarrassed to be associated with them.... As opposed to the fringe element that Ronnie Reagan let loose when he opened that old time religion tent flap? Thing was, those jokers became a force within the GOP...something Nixon warned about. To date, I don't see Obama's administration rift with Red Book quote spouting acolytes. Hell, key parts of his administration contains folk from the previous 8 years. So your assertion is at best an inferred exaggeration.
since taking office he has moved rapidly toward taking control of a variety of private enterprises by the government...... Not quite.....the actions of gov't gaining TEMPORARY control of specific financial institutions was due to the MESS OF DEREGULATION left by the previous administration(s). Asking the fox to clean up his act without supervision wasn't going to cut it. As recent history proves, the "market" wasn't magically cleaning up itself, either.
if you consider both his political history and his actions, it is not surprising that people would question his motives and consider the word "communist"......
