Here in the U.S. their has been some comparisons made between President Obama and Hitler. Usually in Reference to the Idea of Fascism. Some have labeled this comparison as wrong and Racist in Nature.
But it appears that this "Label" is not Preventing the online Russian News Source, Pravda, from literally Comparing Obama to Hitler. Here is part of the Article:
"Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini were very popular at the time, but they were not presented with the Nobel Prize. Yet, they were nominated for same.
If we look down the history from 1900 to 2009, we will find only one person who was extremely popular and talked about like President Obama. That person is Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party and chancellor of Germany.
Despite both men’s popularity; there are more scary similarities between these two leaders:
Both Obama and Hitler share similar ancestries: Obama German, Hitler Austrian.
Both leaders had been surrounded by many controversies concerning birth certificate, citizenship and religion.
Both had the father figure issues. Obama’s parents separated when he was two years old and they divorced in 1964. His father returned to Kenya and saw him only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982. Hitler had a troubled relationship with his tradition-minded authoritarian father, who frequently beat him.
During their teenage years both leaders had problems with alcohol. Obama called the alcohol phase "greatest moral failure", Hitler called it “most humiliated experience in life”.
Both are unloved by the Jewish, for Hitler is well known why, for Obama, well, his victory in Presidential elections was not received with welcome in Israel.
Time magazine named Obama person of the year in 2008, Hitler in 1938.
Both had bestseller books: Obama had “Dreams of my Father” (memoir) and “the Audacity of Hope” (political convictions), Hitler had “Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in Volumes 1 and 2. It combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology.
Obama was influenced by Martin Luther King, Hitler by Martin Luther.
Both Obama and Hitler came to power during the recession-depression; Obama in 2009, Hitler in 1933.
Both are personality cult leaders, portrayed as saviors of political and economical depression; Obama as an American savior, Hitler as German. A cult of personality arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.
Both are/were very gifted orators, having ability to attract great interest in their speeches. Both have/had hand gestures when giving a speech.
Both leaders had initiated health reforms, environmentalism and animal protection rights, among others.
Obama and his extravaganza occupied Europe and North Africa with their charm. Next in agenda is Asia Tour (Korea, China, Japan and Singapore). On the other side, Hitler’s military occupied Europe, North Africa, East and South East Asia, and Pacific Ocean. The question is: will Obama go by the Hitler’s path and visit Pacific Ocean in his next tour?
Talking about Hitler and Obama, one cannot avoid Hitler’s words without thinking of Obama;
“All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people”.
“The art of leadership . . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category”.
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
But this Comparison isn't Fair because Obama is nothing Like Hitler....
Hitler Was able to get the Olympics Brought to Berlin....
Were as Obama Failed to Get the Olympics Brought to Chicago...

For a very good explanation of why Nazism, socialism, and communism are close kin read Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism.”
I’ve know that for 40 years, but its good to see an author write about it.
Hitler should have hired a ghostwriter. His books are an almost indecipherable conglomeration of his nutty theories and plans. Reads like he wrote them while high on something.
LOL maybe not but David A$$holerod does look like Hitler
Hitler infected the youth and had brown shirts (PARA MILITARY) Obama too charms the youth and was to sponsor youth brigades. Hitler was anti capitalism and went the “third way” towards state control corporatism; Barry too goes the same route hiring, firing and controlling people in the corporate world. Hitler controlled the media and Obama attempts to do the same (with the exception of Fox). Hitler created and exploited crisis to strengthen his collective grip and so does Obama with global warming, economic recession and health care.
OMG, I just had a vision of Rahm’s hanging from the truck trailer hitch.
“Isn’t it more correct to say Obama was influenced by Jeremiah Wright, who was into black theology marxist teaching. MArtin Luther King believe in colorblind society. OBama believes in black supremacy”
You are very astute. Very good point. I basically read these posts and don’t respond. But, on occasion, I feel the need to say something in the realm on total agreement.. this is one of those cases.. I have often thought, and mentioned to my friends.. the ones that give a damn.. about how the zero’s admin is nothing short of the new black panther party in power. I, purposely do not capitalize anything these people do, stand for or mean. Anyway, I love freedom and I love Freerepublic.com..
I wonder if the Russian government had perceived Hitlers intentions regarding Germany’s invasion would they have entered into a phoney treaty, or would they have geared up for war with greater exegency and expecancy. If they believe Obama is a little Hitler will they remain complacent or will they move toward preemption?
Stalin was much more of a man of principle than obama
obama isn’t Stalin but he needs advisors like Stalin’s to keep his regime rolling
Hitler is a better comparison, as the Pavda piece points out. Except Hitler at least adored his mother. Bam was raised by wolves, so to speak
Agreed -
I’ve never heard of the Hitler BC issue either - nothing I could find in a 2 minute scan on the web either..
