>> Certain parts of Obama's plans are fascist but I wouldn't call him a fascist. I think that's all we can really say at this point -- is there has been, thus far, a tendency toward fascism. We really can't know what his intention is. I have been encouraged by his reversal on the photos, the arbitrary closing of GTMO which now doesn't look so open-and-shut, the military tribunals, leaving rendition as an option, etc. Essentially, these are admissions that "Bush was right" on these foreign policy issues. To me, it suggests that he IS learning on the job, and may come around in other areas over time. The domestic agenda is obviously a train wreck and it is tough to see him changing on that. But I hold out hope he will come to his senses before it is too late, if it isn't already.
