Oppressed != communist. The USA had the most oppressive laws among so-called developed countries a long time before Obama. E.g.: a death penalty (WTF in the 21 century???), extremely long prison times (in the USA you can get a few hundreds of years even for economic crimes), the US government has a right to spy on any citizen (
absolutely legally), kill anyone who is
suspected to be a terrorist (
absolutely legally), torture the citizens with waterboarding and other sadistic methods (
absolutely legally) etc.
