I get the fascist tendencies, the way he is consolidating power in the executive, and subjectively enforce laws, but I see ISIS/Iran more as the modern day nazis and our president more as Chamberlain. I think (assume) Obama sees himself as doing a lot of good and trying to help the country. He has poor leadership ability, being in a divisive line of work before becoming president. We can't expect an Alenskyite to suddenly become inclusive. (As opposed to an MLK style of leadership). Should an Obama style presidency continue after him, it will be on top of this executive power Obama has built, that one of his progressive (Rep or Dem) successors will develop into a more overt version of Hitler. Perhaps Obama could be compared to an early 1930's Hitler, but not the late 1930's/WWII version.
Many might disagree with me and that's fine. Just trying to be objective and honest about it is all.
