1. I don’t think Obama has any such goal.

2. I don’t believe he’d be allowed to do so.

Lenin took power at the end of four bloody and totally disruptive years of war. Their society had completely collapsed.

We’re still a LONG way from that scenario.

1. I don’t think Obama has any such goal.

Øbama and the barbarians on the other end of his BlackBerry have as a goal the destruction of Western Civilization, most of us dead, the rest of us in chains.

"1. I don’t think Obama has any such goal."

I don't know. I think he might if he could.

He has shown willingness to make up and implement his own laws outside of Congress using regulatory agencies to do so.

His actions are clearly trending towards implementing socialism and communism, from his "redistributing wealth" comments, to his takeover of GM, and forcing of Obamacare down our throats.

So many of his statements and actions can be seen as almost straight out of communist and Alinsky playbooks, but it just hasn't has the impact he had hoped. The occupy movement was laughable. Too many of his actions generate push back.

2. I don’t believe he’d be allowed to do so.

So far the checks and balances have bent but seem to be holding.

• Congress has scheduled a contempt vote on Obama's Attorney General.
• SCOTUS is about to rule on the constitutionality of Obamacare.
• A Federal judge in Florida is holding a hearing on the meaning of "Natural Born Citizens".
• Another Federal judge backed the Obama administration down on questioning the court's authority to examine legislation for consitutionality issues after Obama's made comments suggesting the court shouldn't do it.
• Congress unilaterally voted against Obama's last budget submission.
• And the electorate, the ultimate check and balance, appears to be growing less enamored with Obama each day, although they have nowhere to turn but to an equally liberal Republican candidate or a third party candidate.
• Some progress is being made against election fraud, for example Florida.
• A slight amount of progress has been made on allowing state challenges to election ballots.
• One sherriff started an investigation of Obama's eligibility and birth certificate, though precious few are paying attention to the results so far.

  I agree we are a long way from a Lenin type takeover, but we are on a more slippery slope than we've ever been.
