Is barrack Obama a democratic or republican?
Obama is a Democrat. Democrats are the opposite of Republicans. Republicans generally disagree with abortion, support capitalism and a free market economy, like limited government, want lower taxes, and support traditional marriage.Additional Information:Democrats are also capitalists, and they also support a free market economy. What differentiates the two parties on this issue are the specifics on the extent and nature that the market should be controlled to prevent harms to the people and society. Because these issues are politicized by some pretty harsh media campaigns during each election, many people are led to believe that these two views are diametrically opposed, but the reality is that the significant differences between either of the two major parties in the United States is quite small.Saying that Democrats and Republicans are "opposites" might be an oversimplification. In the political spectrum, they're almost identical. When compared to either Socialists or Fascists (which represent two very distant and opposite ends of the political continuum), Democrats and Republicans are both very near the center of political ideologies.In modern politics in the United States, they are the two major parties, and often seem to be opposites because of a lack of any substantial third parties, but they're not. They have far more in common than not.Further, to specifically answer the question above, a "democrat" is someone who believes in a democratic representation of the people. A "Democrat" (note the capital D), is a member of the Democratic party in the United States.A "republican" is a person who expresses belief that governments are best run when members of the larger population are chosen to represent them on a greater scale, and entrusted to act on their will and represent their interests to a larger body. A "Republican" (note the capital R), is a member of the Republican party in the United States.Punctuation matters, in this case it matters quite a lot.Barack Obama is a republican. He is also a democrat. He is also a capitalist. He is also a Democrat.He is not a Republican.
