I am not an Obama fan and defender but you've stepped off on the wrong foot in this depiction. If Obama was indeed governing from the far left George W. Bush and a few of his conspirators would be sitting in prison today.I am not disappointed in Barry and the 'boys' that he brought with him for his administration. From the moment I heard he was running, I looked at him and immediately thought, "Here's a guy that is going to clothe himself in the sheep's skin of the center and govern from the FAR left."[...]
I believe Obama's obligation to the shadow government that sponsored him is to keep as many of the policies adopted by the Bush Administration in place and to do it in a way that keeps the lid on. He is, more than anything else, a methodical pacifist. An artful back scratcher. But by no means is he a true leftist. If he were he would not have given $750 billion to the bankers and their facilitators who robbed us. Instead dozens if not hundreds of them would be in prison by now, possibly including Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers.
Obama is George W. Bush with liberal use of lubricant. And that is not the "far left."
