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.
With the exception of the “use of force”, you’ve listed a bunch of random campaign tactics that are hardly unique to Hitlerian politics. Every political campaign in this country, from both parties, involves almost EVERY one of those items — create a recognizable logo, blame the opposition for everything, create national pride, ridicule, seize on financial difficuties, cart out families and children, etc.
Again — Reductio ad Hitlerum.

I have no problem comparing someone to hitler where there are comparisons to be made, but I like to temper it. For example. I say to people that when giving a speech, Obama is a good orator. But so was Reagan - and Hitler. IOW, it is pretty meaningless for determining whether or not you should vote for him.
Watch the video at the link above. If it does not remind you of Obama, I’ll eat my shorts.
