The Obama soundbite machine reminds me of a strategy employed by another individual in favor of liberal use of government power to “solve” the ills of the people.

Right, Charles, because Hitler was obviously all about “Hope” and “Inclusiveness” and “Getting beyond divisions in our society.” And describing anything to do with Hitler as “liberal” is nonsensical.
