In many ways, yes he is. As for your perpetual lie...

"The Democrats are selling us the idea that paradise awaits us if we just let the government control everything. "

This is a lie. The Democrats are selling us a MIXED ECONOMY, as are the Republicans. Obama did not nationalize the banks. He understands the positive power of the free market, and anyone who says differently is blowing smoke. Capitalism without government is impossible on any large scale. Someone has to make the laws and enforce them. ( It's the lack of sufficient regulations that got us into the mess we're in now.)

As for your repetitive spiel you're about to start about "redistribution of wealth" by raising taxes on the wealthy blah blah blah, it is rich people more than most who enjoy the benefits of government's very existence. It's not unreasonable for the government to ask them to share more of the tax burden.
