What are you quoting? No. If the OP was talking about how Obama signing the NDAA was bad, or how he's been continuing the assault on civil liberties that the Bush administration has started, or his order on drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan (that have killed quite a number of civilians, including women and children) those would be actual and legitimate things to criticize the president of. Calling someone who is essentially a moderate Republican (due to the Democrats' shift to the right in recent decades) a communist makes the word "hyperbole" an understatement.

It's The Examiner, a publication that prides itself on
QUALITY JOURNALISM™. Here's an interesting small PDF (5 pages) on current and historic gun laws across the states:
http://btlonline.org/2012/spec/i/120405-blog-gunsInpublicplaces.pdf Check out the 1981 and 2011 maps on page 2, I couldn't believe that
Texas of
all places didn't allow conceal carry in 1981, though that seems to have quickly changed in the aftermath of the attempted assassination on Ronald Reagan, a 1982 article from a pro-gun website:
http://www.saf.org/LawReviews/R_Newman.html
During the 1981 Texas legislative session no fewer than eighteen bills, which in some manner affect possession of firearms, were introduced. [9] Although none passed, the current fervor over the issue of handgun ownership indicates it is probable that changes will be made in Texas handgun control law.

Nope. Obama actually was a communist radical in his earlier years, he associated himself with members of the Weathermen movement
Really? He helped them set up bombs and do property damage in protest of the Vietnam War when he wasn't even double digits in age?
William (Bill) Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Rashid Khalidi, and other Harvard leftist professors.Harvard
None of those people you listed ever taught at Harvard.
The Weathermen went underground and started a campaign of terror, bombings, targeted assassinations against politicians, etc. before law enforcement managed to shut it down.
No, they had disbanded by themselves after the Vietnam War had ended and the wider anti-war movement had lost its flair. Leaked documents from an FBI office in Pennsylvania exposed the FBI's secret COINTELPRO operation and illegal mail openings and wiretapping that they had done against both radical and moderate reformers. Did you even read the Wikipedia article that you linked?
Obama definitely is a communist, just like how the current EU President, José Manuel Barroso, is a confirmed communist radical.
This thread isn't about José, although, it's no secret that he joined a Maoist student organization in his youth, however, he has joined the PPD/PSD party which is a center-right conservative political party, and Portugal has a democratic multi-party political society. Far from being a communist that only allow one-party rule.

It wouldn't make sense at all. Especially since Mao said that "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
