I think he’s an Obamist... a hybrid/mixture of a Socialist and a Fascist. he is nationalizing industries, taking control of the free market economy, expanding government and Unions, threatening any Press who do not curry favor, while decrying and scapegoating those who would dare question him.

Well said! That about covers it!
I think there is a common misconception that Fascism and Communism are different systems. Fascism and Communism are virtually the same thing. Both give absolute control to the government to control means of production (though fascism allows private ownership in name only.) The only real difference is their claimed intentions. Fascism is a corporate elite trying to kill capitalism to enhance their power while saying its in the national interest, while communism is the party elite, controlling all of the companies in the name of making everyone equal. Both ways you end up with a small group of people controlling all of the companies, killing free enterprise, and taking all of your freedoms away.
They are the same system with different stated intents (but with the same ultimate results), and they are both tyranny. So I think you are right when you say that you see fascism and socialism in Obama. You see it because fascism and communism are effectively the same thing.
