Obama and Hitler?

Question

Do you see any similarities or differences? I did my own digging today. Interesting comparison. Just wondering what you thought.

Additional Details

I did not tell you what I found because I do not want to think for you. You should do your own research. AND if you looked at the question it says similarities and DIFFERENCES. Silly people. Can not we have a compare and contrast session once and a while?

Certainly there are some similarities. Look at Hitler's campaign early on, it didn't blatantly support facism. The Nazis promised to clamp down on Big Business and end the class struggle (sounds familiar). It appealed to the young most, they thought they would fight the evil bourgeois and and establish a youth dominated culture. The uprising of the poor and beaten down, crushed by the evil corporations and industrialist (again, sounds familiar). Along with the youth idea, the NAZIs would use the slight of hand trick, accusing their opponents of facism; evil creatures who hoped only to increase the wealth gap and control the downtrodden proletariet. Hitler gained the young and the old alike with idealism.

The biggest similarity is the idea of Nationalism and Socialism. Americans are naturally nationalists, and it is a good side to appeal to. Also, Obama is in favor of many socialist initiatives. So, it would be appropriate to call Obama a NAZI (An advocate of National Socialism). Both NAZIs. Bring on the thumbs downs.

Answer 6

Yes, because Obama is rising to office by preaching hate and scapegoating? How dumb can people get?

Answer 7

Albert is correct.

Answer 8

Everyone has closets however, Hillary is the best candidate for president. Do you like how the country is being run today? If Obama gets the nomination, he will never beat the republican party. So if he wins, be prepared for another republican president which will equal more of the same old thing.

VOTE SMART!

VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!!

Answer 9

they are not the same

Answer 10

Obama does not like war. Mc Cain likes war like Hitler did.

Answer 11

they use the same rhetoric. coin words built to excite the masses----with no real solutions to them. hitler blamed the jews. obama blames the wealthy. hmmmmmm

Answer 12

No. Because even though it was terrible, Hitler had a plan for change which is more then Obama has.

Answer 13

Yeah, the similarities are eerie, like Peter Pan and Genghis Khan.

Answer 14

Similarities: They are both humans.
Differences: Hitler was crazy and evil, and Obama will save our country.

Answer 15

Yes, the way they seem to get people to swoon over their words. They both seem to think the more government control the better but I don't think Obama hates Jews like Hitler did and I doubt Obama has a plan to kill 6 million people.. I hope..

Answer 16

You gave no examples of any comparisons between Obama and Hitler. So how are your comparisons interesting? Facts please.

Answer 17

they both had white moms?

Answer 18

when I see fainting idiots I throw up!!

Answer 19

While Hitler was a abomination; with that said there are only connections between way ppl follow w/out any knowledge of the change they want.
Hitler actually got to power by promising great social improvements; jobs building roads- the autobaun- still in place in Germany today- the people's car- Volkswagen
Germans were desperate economy was in ruins they blindly followed him b/c their families were starving and wanted some change any change w/out asking exactly what the change stood for- hence the comparison.

Doesn't make Obama like Hitler; it does say that in both cases people have aimlessly followed change w/out knowing what that change stood for.

Answer 20

As much as I dislike Obama, I don't see the Hitler thing.

What are the comparisons you've come up with through your digging? Speaking ability? Is that it? Because that aint much. Might as well say they're both bipedal. They both stand upright. They each have 10 fingers... Not exactly damning evidence.

Answer 21

Liberty,
I keep telling you that you have to regularly take your meds. Otherwise you go around saying things like this. What will people think?

Answer 22

Anyone who says there are no similarities is lying or scared of the truth. Hitler gave some great speeches with tons of charisma just like Obama. Whether they both hate jews or not is another story. But both have a cult following and give very powerful speeches. In fact many people, watch hitler's speeches to improve their own speeching ABILITY, not content mind you

Answer 23

let's ask Nostradamous, shall we?!

Answer 24

you, my friend, are an idiot.

Answer 25

Both grew up in countries other than the ones they ruled, assuming Obama becomes President. Oops! I said, "ruled", not "governed". I've been reading too much European history lately.

Both have an "a" in their first names.
Both have an "o" in their first names.

Seriously though, there are tons of similarities. And if it weren't for Hitler's bad side, he would have made a great leader for Germany. But he got a little obsessed with taking over the world, when he should have stopped at Austria and maybe that part of Chechoslavakia that had lots of Germans. And he also got a bit obsessed with killing Jews, gays, retarded people(now known as people with developmental disablilities), and Gypsies, and probably some other groups.
But Hitler did start up some good ideas, which have already been mentioned. We can only wait to see if Obama can live up to Hitler's stature.

Both were over 5 feet tall.

Answer 26

I don't like obama but thats a stretch

Answer 27

what similarties?
Hitler: hates black people, hates jews, loves war
Obama: a biracial man, wants to end war

Answer 28

I see no similarities at all.

I suppose the ability to speak well could be one. I suppose the somewhat racial aspect that are in effect in his church could be another.

Course they were both kinda poor boys in the beggining too.

I suppose there are some relativities.

Answer 29

No, I see more similarities between Hillary and Hitler. I did my own comparison check out the link:

Answer 30

Both support dictatorships. One indirectly, through stupidity, the other directly, through actions.

What i mean by Obama supporting dictatorships is his belief in high government control and unlimited majority rule. I'll use these quotes to help: ( I'm ready for the strong Obama force to give me thumbs down here.)


"Remember that private citzens-whether rich or poor, whether businessmen or workers- have no power to start a war. That power is the exclusie prerogative of a government. Which type of government is more likely to plunge a country into war: a government of limited powers, bound by constitutional restrictions-or an unlimited government, open to the pressure of any group with warlike interests or ideologies, a government able to command armies to march at the whim of a single chief executive.
Yet it is not a limited government that today's peace-lovers are advocating."-Ayn Rand

"Observe one of the ugliest characteristics of today's world: the mixture of frantic war preparations with hysterical peace propaganda, and the fact that both come from the same source-from the same political philosophy. The bankrupt, yet still dominant, political philosophy of our age is statism.
Observe the nature of today's alleged peace movements. Professing love and concern for the survival of mankind, they keep screaming that the nuclear-weapons race should be stopped, that armed force should be abolished as a means of settling disputes among nations, and that war should be outlawed in the name of humanity. Yet these same peace movements do not oppose dictatorships; the political views of their members range through all shades of the statist spectrum, from welfare statism to socialism to fascism to communism. This means that they are opposed to the use of coercion by one nation against another, but not by the government of a nation against its own citizens' it means that they are oppposed to the use of force against armed adversariers, but not against the disarmed."-Ayn Rand

Answer 31

Ok, last time, I"m going to cover this slowly, please try to keep up.
Stop comparing people you don't like to Hitler.
It just makes people ingore you.
Now in your case, ignoring you may be the right choice, but please, STOP COMPARING PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE TO HITLER.
