See, you've got that part right but you're completely off the rails with the communism stuff.
What we've turned into is a plutocracy, not communism. In fact, it couldn't be farther from communism.

A better description of the US would be corporatism, which is the socioeconomic system favoured by fascists.
That said, if Mogli means that Obama is a Communist, as in a state capitalist, that isn't all that far from the truth. Of course when you get to these levels of wealth and power inequalities, these systems start to feel the same, even if they differ technically from one another.
