my personal favorite: the vice president is in charge of the Senate.

Actually - this is factual. The VP is the "President of the Senate" by constitutional law. The fact that they have not, for the last 50 years or so, presided regularly over the Senate Chamber does not make the statement false. In fact, on certain occasions, the VP will still preside.
I did a quick google search on the other two comments. The "God elects presidents" came up blank, so I could only comment if I see the context. As for a Russian comment, not sure which one your referencing. Not that its important, but we can always discuss it.
As for "Communists" and "Socialists" - let me put it this way.
"Green Energy Czar" - Van Jones - self identified COMMUNIST.
"Energy Czar" Carol Browner - formerly listed as a member of SOCIALISTS INTERNATIONAL (though in all fairness, she "highly regards" Mao, a Communist)
*Do a quick google search on her name - you will find the data.*
As for the differences, socialism is focused purely on the economy, where communism is concerned with both the economy and political structure. Its also often missed that socialism can tolerate a level of capitalism, provided its controlled centrally, where communism cannot abide the free market in any form.
So yes, I am familiar with the differences. And its also obvious my statement was correct about the president , and those he chooses to advise him, are in fact either Communists, or Communists and Socialists, depending on the person.
