#2 Now, now, Besoeker. Obama is not communist---not smart enough to learn the basic principles. Putin is not communist---he's an old fashioned autocrat.

#4 Oh, he gets that everyday from ValJar and Michelle. This was probably a nice break in the volume and tone.

#5 Can he quit making statements and DO SOMETHING?

This guy is all hat and no ranch...geez lots of profound language and brilliant prose but not one bit of action...

I think the rest of the world has caught on to his game.

#6 Hell, Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, FDR, Carter... none of them were communists either. All old fashioned autocratic fascists with a thin layer of propaganda to get dumbass union leaders and western mandarin class types to go along with them.

Can he quit making statements and DO SOMETHING?

To do nothing is something. He makes statements to pretend he beleives something he doesn't. As I said earlier in the week, if he said those Unterkranianmenchen better stop being uppity and go back to picking Masser Putin's cotton, because the work will make them free, it would match what he actually feels and does... but he'd run the risk of another 5% of his voters actually waking up.
