		<description>The term "Centrist" is an interesting one.  If you think on it, it is a matter of perspective totally.  Is Obama a centrist, well yes, in the sense that he falls somewhere between John McCain and Hillary Clinton.  

What we miss in the discussion is that the playing field has been changing for generations.  Would Obama be a centrist in contrast with John Kennedy?  Not at all.  Kennedy was fiscally conservative with initiatives to control spending.  Kennedy knew the appropriate use of the military to protect our country and the rights of our people.  Obama clearly lacks that understanding.  So, in contrast to Kennedy, Obama is a Leftist.

Would Obama be a centrist in contrast to FDR?  Certainly not, although he would pay homage to his memory thinking on the programs which would begin the slowly degrading move to socialism.  Still, I feel Obama would be a Leftist compared to FDR.

Would Obama be a centrist in contrast to Karl Marx?  This is the question.  Again, the answer would be no.  Obama clearly believes in redistribution of wealth, a key component in the Communist Manifesto authored by Karl Marx.  Obama clearly believes in the government controlling more of our day to day lives (i.e. Healthcare, education, programs for the poor and lower class in our society).  Obama in no way would be a centrist to Karl Marx, however one could describe him as being right in line with Marx and his Communist Theory.

We need only remember that in recent years we saw the results of Communist Theory as it ultimately played itself out in the Soviet Union.  What was left was a godless, unorganized, chaotic ruin of a nation that lacks the will and understanding of liberty to rebuild itself still to this day.  What America will get with an Obama Presidency will take us along the same path, ultimately with the same potential end.

What is sad this year is that there is no choice for the people, and Obama by media endorsement will be crowned the next President.</description>
