Some people have asked me why I refer to Obama as a fascist, suggesting rather that he is just a pragmatic liberal. What I notice is that in just four months Obama has already assumed more power to the Presidency than the reviled Bush ever did in eight years. I can't imagine that Bush would have fired the CEO of a private corporation or intervened in a bankruptcy as in the Chrysler situation. Obama's decisions are often liberal (or what I would call socialistic), but they seem fashioned to protect Obama himself from criticism or fault. He seems intent on garnering adulation from the public. The MSM love him and can find little fault in him, even though he doesn't treat them well. He exhibits imperial pretensions that exceed anything I have seen since FDR; he even refers to himself with the royal "we." This cult of personality that he fosters is the classic hallmark of a Fascist.
