Many people on both sides are saying they "do not know this man" and what he stands for. Yet as the Hitler-Jugend followed him, they to are following Obama. Actually a good historical analogy. Their are several others but many of the others followed their leadership out of fear. In the 1930's Germany, they followed because this leader told them what they wanted to hear and promised fixing all the problems created by prior leadership during and after WWI.
It's more an analogy of the masses following any leader with blind faith.

Sorry, I do know my history but I still think this goes back to fear-mongering and a bad analogy. This is name calling just wrapped in a cloak of faux patriotism. Why is it that some people cannot accept that others are NOT just blindly following President Obama. That they truly believe in his policies. That's what I find so insulting to the American people. Are you saying then that 80% of Americans are now just a flock of sheep? Are you saying that you, and the Conservatives, are the ONLY ones that have studied the issues? Give me a break!
The American public has voted. He's only been in office for three days for God's sake! Support your President. These are unprecedented times of crisis. Suck it up and pitch in and help.
