Obama has hung with Communists--Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, and others; however, his form of govt. is more Fascist than Socialist or Communist at this point--Fascism allows for some private ownership but dictates policy--Socialism, Communism, and Fascism are all statist and support dictators.. He likens himself to FDR, Lincoln and others, but in truth he is more like Adolph than anyone we ever had.
Hitler was a community organizer who started a community based orgn.(brown shirts) who began by turning out the vote for him when he took advantage of the post WWI chaos. They later continued by knocking on doors, breaking windows, painting anti Jew slogans on buildings and signs, and generally frightening the populace. Later, they helped cart people away.
Sotomayor is not a towering brain, per many who have worked with her. So Bush 1 apointed her, but did not pick her. At the time, NY had a Repub and a Dem senator and the Dem Senator proposed her name. She had a good degree and was a minority woman. Her years on the bench have not been distinguished, and over half the opinions she wrote herself have been overturned by a higher court.
Repubs need to make the fight ideological and philosophical, not personal, although her snide statements about white men tells me she is racist.
Obama voted against John Roberts, who is a towering intellect. The Dems just could not get him to answer the eway they wanted.

This is what the GOP is going to get every single time it panders to minorities. The Bush family set the standard for pandering to minorities and it has been disastrous for European-Americans. Pandering gives the gloss of respectablity to such racist anti-European groups as LaRacist/LaRaza. Pandering rewards incompetent ingrates like Colin Powell who are then compelled to prove their “street-cred” by trashing the very people who promoted them. The clueless elitists who run the GOP have no idea how pathetic their efforts appear to minorities. Instead of groveling for a few lousy votes, the GOP would have been better off keeping their integrity and being a party of principle that people could respect. Instead, the GOP chose to be pathetic groveling whiners.
