>> Which according to Tench make Obama a marxist?

At the very least you have to admit that Obama is putting forth some strongly Marxist concepts. Notably, the concept of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

While you may argue with the extent of the implementation (to date), the concept is definitely there. So, we have an administration that believes that it should dictate how much money people make, or when a person makes more than the Obama government deems appropriate, it should be confiscated and redistributed to those the Obama government believes are more deserving. This is precisely what is happening today. First with the AIG bonus situation, now with Barney Frank wanting to take control of ALL payroll in any of these companies receiving government money, ultimately, to be extended to the economy as a whole.

This is the fundamental precept of Marxism. One could argue there are other aspects that aren't implemented [yet], but it doesn't matter. This is the Obama styled approach to a classless society, and that is, after all, the ultimate goal of Marxism.
