Obama's viewpoints are almost entirely based on various far left ideologies and movements. The problem with all far left candidates is they can not articulate their plans to the masses or no one would vote for them. So their plans are veiled behind slogans and 'feel good' assumptions of their intentions.

If he is elected, which the odds are low, he will serve one term like his mentor Jimmy Carter. Over the next 2 months it will become painfully clear to the voters of the US that he is fluff and the substance is too painful to the lifestyle of most US citizens.

Let us not forget that every whack job (except for Mussolini) dictator/mass cleanser was a left wing politician. Adolf Hitler, Che Guevara/Fidel, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao Zedong, etc. All of them started with the nationalistic pride, "Power to the People" - "si se puede (yes, we can)", and all of them ended up doing the same thing... power grabs, oppression, and mass exterminations of the "non-believers".

No, I am not saying that Obama is PolPot/Hitler.
