Obama: National Socialist?

[Jonathan Lighter]

Yeah, Google "Obama's" and "national socialism"/"national socialist" and see
what you get.  (Beware of neo-Nazi sites talking about something else.)

Yahoos who wouldn't know Hitler from Charlie Chaplin and are proud of it are
now bringing swastika flags into Democratic (oops! "Democrat," of course)
town meetings to protest abolition. I mean of the second amendment and of
the elderly, of course.  And that failed governor, what's her name?  She's
blogging about Obama's "death panels," which will decide who's "level of
productivity in society" is high enough to allow them to live, once his
"downright evil" health plan becomes iron law over (dangerously underarmed)
Americans.

Irrelevant to this forum?  You be the judge.

A personal note: a well-educated friend warned me in January about Obama's
"national socialism." Then she wanted to know what Third Reich economic
policy was like.  Trying to sound smart, I mumbled something like,
"government control over heavy industry, close relations with business
tycoons, subsidies...."

She nodded sagely and said, "Uh-huh. And that's what we're getting."
