so does the video deny Obama is a Marxist or is it just debunking something stupid like the flag pin?

Do you even know what Marxism is or are you just spouting idealogical names to feel smart :laugh: seriously, do you even know?

* a belief that capitalism is based on the exploitation[4] of workers by the owners of capital
* a belief that people's consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects the dominant ideology which is in turn shaped by material conditions and relations of production
* an understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production, and as a particular position within such relations
* an understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable
* a view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change
* a belief that this dialectical historical process will ultimately result in a replacement of the current class structure of society with a system that manages society for the good of all, resulting in the dissolution of the class structure and its support (more often than not including the nation state)
Seems close. In raising tax on the rich to help the poor and to close the gap between them fits within the definition.
