Comparisons to Hitler should be reserved only to genocidal madmen.
Come on, Obama is not like Hitler at all, except that both:
1. Claim that you’ll make them proud of their nation again.
2. Blame everything on the present government.
3. Develop a logo to be used everywhere.
4. Involve the children, make it a family event
5. Convince them that the government, under your guidance, is the cure
6. Make your followers believe.....believe...that they understand
something that others do not. We are special!
7. Ridicule the opposition - they deserve no respect (important)
8. Get power in any way possible, if you win you then hold the reigns on the
enforcement authority, you will not punish yourself.
9. Use a financial problem that affects as many people as possible. Blame it on the opponents.
10. Be ready to use force to fight your opponents.
Reductio ad Hitlerum
Let’s not forget that Obama’s mother pretty much dumped him for her “new” family and he wanted to leave her to live with his grandparents. He also wasn’t there when she was dying. I missed my mother’s death by 10 minutes, but I certainly wasn’t in another state!
It seems Freud would have a field day with this.
Hmmmm....
The real issue here is Hitler was the head of the National Socialist Movement in Germany.
Obama is the head of the International Socialist movement here in America.
Both are ultra-left wing socialists.
And Obama is using the some of the SAME tactics that were used in the past.
Mussolini is the more appropriate historical analog.

Does this mean that Barry will be jailed for trying to hide his birth certificate?
One problem is that Hitler was not Jewish.

In those circumstances, he might have been a participant in someone else's genocide, but would he have led one of his own? And what about all the mixed-race people (or those who fear they are of mixed ancestry) who have trouble with that at some point but don't kill millions?
What I mean is, Obama's frustrations and resentments aren't anything like Hitler's were. If BHO had spent four years in the trenches and come home to see his society collapsed, you might have a point, but the way things are, you don't.
According to the book “ The Three faces of Adolph Hitler” ( a critiquing of Hitler) he was a very sincere young man who wanted change and could capture the attention of the audience. Once in power he went mad. We don’t know much about BO and we do know he has hung with radicals.
Huh?
I’ve read an awful lot of political threads here on FR, but I don’t recall any where Obama is compared to Hitler.
