Mr. Alinsky would be proud of you, CM. Presidents generally hire people into high positions within their administrations who share their world views. Obama did not just happen to meet people like Valerie Jarrett and Van Jones at a cocktail party. Obama hired them and other left wing fringe ideologues into policy making positions.

As for blacklisting, a President Hoot Gibson would not hesitate to blacklist avowed socialists and Marxists from serving in high positions in his administration. Americans have every right to be left wing whack jobs if they want but they have no right to serve in policy-making positions at the White House without the president's consent.

No previous president filled his administration with society's bottom feeders the way that Obama has done.

BTW, I noticed that you had no response for the government taking an ownership stake in GM and Chrysler. Nor did you comment on Obama's dismissal of GM's CEO and the pay cuts imposed by Obama's Pay Czar on executives employed by private companies. It is pretty hard to argue that Obama is a capitalist, given his track record so far, isn't it?

Hoot, if you stumble upon a man with his mouth on another man's mouth, make sure he isn't giving CPR before you knee-jerk label him a homosexual. Obama took office during a time of financial crisis. If you wish to label economic "CPR" socialism, so be it. I am more than willing to let a few years tell the tale, which is more than can be said for you and your hatchet job style politics.
