   Therefore, if Obamanomics is a “complete repudiation” of   
   Reaganomics and President Reagan was, and continues to be viewed   
   as an ardent defender of American capitalism while vigorously   
   denouncing communism – the coherent conclusion would deem   
   Obamanomics to be 180 degrees opposed to Reaganomics. And as   
   such supports the fundamental premise that Obama is a communist.   
      
   Unfortunately, one bit of information rarely is a basis on which   
   to rest a sound conclusive theory. However, this analysis from   
   an admitted progressive liberal, Robert Reich establishes a   
   secure foundation on which to build the theory that proves Obama   
   to be a communist.   
      
   So towards establishing more proof, we can assume or agree that   
   most people relate and prefer commingling with those most like   
   themselves and whose positions and intellectual thought are   
   similar. Hence, communists prefer being associated with other   
   communists and capitalists favor associating with other   
   capitalists.   
      
   The reason this is true is that individuals need their positions   
   and thoughts substantiated. Most people lack the courage of   
   conviction in their particular political, economic and   
   ideological beliefs.   
      
   Although I must concede the obvious point in which this theory   
   is deficient and fails miserably with regards to the attraction   
   of opposing political and economic ideologies between males and   
   females. There are times that, unlike gravity, the theory fails   
   to address why individuals, with completely opposing thought,   
   results in a chemistry that draws males and females together,   
   but results in war between opposite minded humans of the same   
   sex.   
      
   It is unmistakable the impact FDR’s presidency had on the   
   socialist leanings of the United States. FDR is responsible for   
   the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal   
   Revenue Service (IRS) -- arguably the two most power enforcement   
   agencies in the world. But these agencies do make and enforce   
   laws, such as is the purview of the Environmental Protection   
   Agency under the authority of President Obama.   
      
   FDR therefore, is a figure that continues to exude a distinctive   
   impact on the American political and economic landscape. From   
   his Keynesian economic policies, which have been proven   
   inadequate, ineffective, and counter productive to his   
   interventionist anti-constitutional political power grabs,   
   Roosevelt set precedent that others, namely President Obama,   
   religiously follow today.   
      
   There will be many people that argue that America has had many   
   “republican” presidents thereby negating my negative theory   
   regarding America’s march towards the abyss of socialism for   
   nearly a century.   
      
   A closer inspection of American history however will prove that   
   though there were brief respites, socialism was so firmly   
   entrenched that the “republican” leaders were in name only.   
      
   Richard Nixon a republican president after Lyndon B. Johnson,   
   for example, established the Environmental Protection Agency and   
   removed the United States from the gold standard as set by the   
   Bretton Woods Agreement Act of 1944. Bretton Woods established   
   global commercial and financial rules for the industrialized   
   nations, which established the American Dollar as the world   
   currency that was convertible into gold upon demand.   
      
   Nixon was also responsible for initiating wage and price   
   controls in 1971 similar to those instituted by Roosevelt during   
   the Depression. Of course all progressives and many   
   conservatives view Nixon as a conservative republican, which is   
   simply not the case. Though Nixon did detest the Soviets and   
   communism in general, he governed as a progressive as is   
   evidenced by his policies mentioned above.   
      
   As for Bush Sr. (41) and George Bush junior (43), both were   
   progressive relative to Ronald Reagan. For instance, George Bush   
   (41) raised income taxes and called for a “New World Order”.   
   Bush Sr. signed one of the most pro-civil rights pieces of   
   legislation known as the Americans With Disabilities Act and he   
   also “reauthorized” the Clean Air Act.   
      
   Pushing the progressive agenda further Bush (43) signed the   
   Patriot Act and called for the government takeover of private   
   companies in during the economic “crisis” in 2008. He also   
   authorized nearly a trillion dollars in additional government   
   spending and doubled the national debt from $5 trillion to $10   
   trillion in his eight year reign.   
      
   Furthermore, Bush also signed the Medicare Prescription Drug,   
   Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA) and the No Child Left   
   Behind Act. Both of these acts dramatically increased federal   
   power.   
      
   In addition, Bush (43) also famously stated, to the horrors of   
   myself and capitalists around the world, that he has “abandoned   
   free market principles to save the free market”. Therefore,   
   anyone claiming either Bush is a free market capitalist fails to   
   understand American history and the explosion of the power and   
   spending of the federal government under republican presidents   
   other than Reagan.   
      
   These individual progressive republican presidents, coupled with   
   the exceptionally progressive tendencies of Lyndon Baines   
   Johnson (Medicare and Welfare, Gun Control Act and the War on   
   Poverty), Jimmy Carter (Department of Education, Chrysler   
   Bailout, and Solar Panels) and Bill Clinton (Family Medical   
   Leave Act, Repeal Glass-Steagall Act, created tech bubble   
   leading to market crash 2000) proves that America has been   
   governed by socialists for a majority of the past 100 years.   
      
   Therefore, I conclude that America, as it currently is   
   operating, is fundamentally a socialist country. There are only   
   minute vestiges of capitalism, free markets, and personal   
   liberty remaining and which are carried forth by a fractional   
   minority of constitutionalists in America. And one can be   
   assured that the flame of liberty has yet to be extinguished   
   primarily due, in no uncertain terms, to believers in and   
   protectors of the Second Amendment to the United States   
   Constitution, guaranteeing the right of The People to Bear Arms.   
      
   Given that Marx saw socialism as the natural pathway to   
   communism and promulgated on the fact that America is and has   
   been on the socialist pathway, the only logical conclusion then   
   is that the next step would naturally be communism.   
      
   Hence, transitioning to communism would most likely be achieved   
   by one well versed in the political components necessary to   
   convert a nation’s politically ideology and who also firmly   
   believes in every fiber of his/her being that they have the   
   power and political authority to do so.   
      
   Just as Bush had many czars in his administration, which   
   substantiates the theory that Bush was a progressive big   
   government crony capital socialist, Obama has at least 35 czars.   
   These positions for the most part are paid, but the amount is   
   unknown.   
      
   One of Obama’s “valued advisor[s]” and “dear friends” is Cass   
   Sunstein who is a Harvard lawyer that taught at the Chicago   
   School of Law. Being that Sunstein is a trusted advisor and a   
   dear friend by Obama’s own account, it is interesting to see the   
   type of individual Obama aligns himself with.   
      
   Sunstein wrote a book in 2002 called the Republic.com, which   
   supported the idea that the internet was too free because it   
   allowed people to link together who had similar views, likes,   
   etc. – sort of like the relationship and reason why Sunstein and   
   Obama are “dear friends”.   
      
   Sunstein thought it was a fantastic idea for the government to   
   mandate search engine companies to automatically link to
