14. A hit piece that compares Obama to Adolf Hitler?
Doesn't this go beyond the "constructive criticism" allowed here?

I can see the point that the piece is making, but the author lost any shred of credibility when he compared Obama to Hitler. And I question whether the author is really a progressive. If so, how could he possibly be more scared for our country now than he was under Bush?

Not to mention the many exaggerations and flat out lies in the article. For example: "Brand Obama has refused to ease restrictions so workers can organize"

I work for a labor union that is pushing hard for the Employee Free Choice Act, and I know for a fact that Obama has not "refused" to make EFCA the law of the land...the Republicans in the Senate have. If the bill gets to his desk I am positive that President Obama will sign it. I will acknowledge that it's not his top priority, but I certainly don't think you can say that Obama has refused to make it easier for workers to organize. Republicans in the Senate have refused to make it easier for workers to organize, along with spineless Democrats like Blanche Lincoln.
