Of course, anyone who is our enemy is the New Hitler; it is the American Way. So to those who think Obama the Enemy Of All That Is Good it is only logical:
Never mind the absurdity that Obama, who has governed Center Right, is no kind of socialist, let alone a democratic socialist, which means direct worker ownership of industry. Mr Obama, for various reasons, including his recent proposals to make assault weapons and 30 round clips harder to obtain than, say, a driver’s license (the first assault weapons ban was under Reagan, who also had a higher tax for the rich) has earned the emnity of the dopey right (as opposed to the responsible right).
And boy, is there more (click image to embiggen):

It is not what he is doing so much as how he is doing it. He is forcing his personal beliefs on the United States with no input from Congress, that is, by executive fiat. Reagan got things done because he compromised.
“It is not what he is doing so much as how he is doing it. He is forcing his personal beliefs on the United States with no input from Congress, that is, by executive fiat.” Examples? If you’re referring to the HHS mandate, the bill as passed by Congress could have specified exemptions for religiously-connected institutions, but Congress (as usual) left the details up to the executive branch.
The HHS mandate is the tip of the iceberg. The Drone war, the secret kill lists, elimination of anti-abortion religions from other faith based outreach programs, the attempt to dictate to the Lutherans who they could ordain, over and over this administration has shown that the constitution is a worthless, unenforceable document.
It did not start with Obama either. This progression towards outright dictatorship has been going on my entire life- with every President worse than the one before. I do not see it changing before the drone war comes home- and then it will be too late.
Long ago, it was possible to speak of an American pol acting tyrannically likening him to, say, George III. But now, our historically illiterate culture always goes straight for HITLERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
