How did ‘Iran’s nuclear program’ suddenly become ‘Iran’s nuclear weapons program’?
Iran doesn’t have a ‘nuclear weapons program’. Everyone knows that, why keep pretending?

Watching the two clips above , you see a President of courage and honor willing to face issues head on. It’s evident he also listens, engages and respects with those whom he disagrees. For those who are willing, there is a lot to be learned from him.

What to look?! You’ve got to commend the Dearest Leader for as carefully correcting his boneheaded mistakes as his carelessly making them.
He is learning. Give him time, he might be an Ab.

Paige: The sentiments that you express are the same things that were said to justify Hitler’s powergrabs and regime.

Obama is doing a tremendous job as president! Keep up the good word Mr President.

It’s too bad that the president has to pander to these religious and right-wing head-cases , their man messed things up for the last eight years and they have the nerve to speak badly of President obama 4 months in office.

JD – How can you even make that analogy? How do you take those positive traits and equate them to that monster? Says alot about you! No matter what good traits OUR President has, you will go the extra mile to find fault. I take it you don’t have any of of these traits that would make you a reasonable person.

I had a boss that talked just like POTUS, he was a disaster.. always positive with glittering generalities and active listening.. sounding like he just read the latest airline seatback magazine.. I hope I’m wrong about all of this..

Don’t confuse the EARLY RISE with the END RESULT.
If you look at the early rise of Hitler you will see that JD (no relation to me) really is correct. There are many similiarites to what is happening today and what took place in Germany in the early 1930s. The German economy was in a depression and the people were desparate for a leader who would give them “hope” and “change.” There was the emergence of a very charismatic individual who was “willing to face issues head on.” And majority of the Germans became blindly devoted to their leader.
Today we see the nationalization of our financial institutions and the auto industry. And now we see President Obama meddling in state and local affairs for which he has no Constitutional authority. First he is threatening to withhold stimulus money if California doesn’t rescind the $2.00 wage cut for some union employees. And then he announced that he wants 5,000 of our nation’s failing schools to close and reopen with new principals and teachers over the next five years. If a Republican president had done this there would have been a huge outcry by the media and the American people!
The blind devotion to President Obama is just too eerily similar.

I think Obama, in a twisted way, loves to step into the middle of controversy.
I believe he wants to further divide the Catholic Church and gets his jollies by seeing who is loyal to him.
Those naive college kids chanting “Yes We Can” will find out very soon what Obama has done to their future.

James Danley
comparing 2009 America to 1930′s Germany is about as dopey as it gets…..comparing Obama [even for a fringed out wingnut] to Hitler proves how ludicrous the ‘right’ has become..
this is a clear example of why America rejected the Republican/Conservative outlook…
re: ” If a Republican president had done this..”
A Republican president started a needless war..
killed and wounded brave Americans.

Nice of the president to wrap his radical and heartless abortion views with a pretty red bow.
And those idiots fell for it.
Did they bother to look at his record?
Obama conveniently doesn’t even know when a baby has rights–it’s above his pay grade remember.

Obama does a good job of convincing an audience to fall for his words and not his actions.
Probably why he targets college kids.

This could also easily describe the period of the late 70′s and early 80′s.
Long period of economic stagnation followed by a charismatic leader promising a return to good times while promoting nationalism and a strong military.
Oh dear I think I just called Saint Reagan Hitler.

Ryan, c’mon now, next thing you’ll be tellin me is that old Ronnie, racked a huge deficit spending record, started a secret illegal war in South America, and set the country up for the savings & Loans disaster, and supported a certain mid-east dictator (who amazingly was shaking hands with Rumsfeld)
Everyone knows that the only ‘real’ Americans
are republican, and they all live in the ‘real’ America’

How ironic that a baby in the audience cried just as Obama was trying to justify abortion.

James Danley | May 19, 2009 11:56:47 AM—Hitler was full of hate and it showed. Obama is about hope, multiculturalism and tolerance (all opposed by Hitler and the radical-right). if you seriously think we are in 1930s Germany you’re delusional. “eerily similar”, seriously you should write books that scare children.

He supports partial birth abortions, and voted against medical care for those infants that survived abortions.
President Obama is morally illiterate, and incompetent.
