Was Barack Obama endorsed by the Communist Party USA?

Answer 1

First, in the United States, there is no "liberal party." The major political parties are the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Green party. There are also some smaller parties. Perhaps you are asking whether Barack Obama is a liberal, a common claim on certain Republican Talk Shows. Based on his voting history as a candidate and his policies in the White House, we can say he is a centrist Democrat. He leans left (liberal) on social issues, but he leans right on issues related to defense.

Answer 2

Yes, although it should be noted that the president never sought their endorsement, nor did he have anything to do with it. However, people who ask this question often do so because they have heard an assertion made popular by certain Republican politicians and conservative talk show hosts that Mr. Obama is a Communist. Such claims are false. There is no evidence that he has ever belonged to the Communist party, and contrary to various internet myths, he has not attended the party's meetings nor has he ever sought the party's support. The Communist Party has been in existence here for many decades, and it has endorsed candidates for many decades. But just because CPUSA endorses someone, that does NOT mean the person they endorse ever agreed with the party, nor does it mean the candidate wanted such an endorsement.

Answer 3

No, he was not. It is common rhetoric on the part of some conservative Republicans to try to tie Mr. Obama to communism or Marxism, but there is no credible evidence he was ever associated with either movement.

Answer 4

According to records, Barack Obama has always been a registered member of the Democratic Party.
