Stop calling Obama a Liberal. There's nothing Liberal about this dude.

[hipaware]

He hasn't came through on one of his "progressive" policies he promised when he got voted in office, kept the Bush Tax Cuts, Still is making Middle Eastern invasions. And is actually more of a moderate on the Colin Powell side of things than the Bill Clinton type moderate. There's nothing Socialist or anything liberal about Obama. Don't let Fox News and the radio lie to you about him.

 

[Sarah G]

Well, he does have something to do with Liberalism but he's more Centrist. Like Bill Clinton. A president should be more moderate and I believe America agrees. Thus the rejection of wingnutty Republicans.

Centrist my ass. I'm a centrist, he's a neo-liberal.

Sarah? Barack Obama is SO not Bill Clinton! When Clinton got a rebuke from the voters in HIS first mid-term elections after becoming President, he did the smart thing and moved to the center...when the same thing happened to Barry he didn't move an inch!

I'm sorry to be blunt with you but Bill Clinton was a great politician and Barack Obama is not.

Rescinded the Bush tax cuts.
Signed the biggest entitlement program in history (Ocare)
Fired CEO of major corporation
Proposed carbon tax
Withdrew from Iraq
Plans for withdrawing from Afghanistan (in both cases we are simply abandoning the countries. Iraq is already plagued with violence because we didnt leave any force behind)
Sign Lilly Ledbetter Attorney full employment act
Supports gay marriage
Supports gun restrictions
Supports abortion on demand
Appointed communists to federal office
Supports multilateral action through the UN (in theory anyway. In practice they cant stand him)
Refused to intervene for Iranian students
Led from behind in Libya
AWOL from Arab Spring
Appointed pro labor simps to NLRB

The list can go on and on. ANyone who thinks Obama is a centrist must be to the left of Uncle Joe.

The only people who as yet have not figured this out are the partisans of both teams.

They believe what they are told, they buy into labeling in leiu of thinking for themselves, and they are just pleased as punch to know what SIDE they are on

I SUSPECT most reality-based non-partisans understand that Bush II was not conservative and Obama is not liberal.

Oh he's "liberal".

He's just not far left and radical.

Eisenhower was a liberal as well. So was Lincoln. So was George Washington.

Yes and no.

Elizabeth Warren is in the Senate.

Is that a support or a refutation that plutocrats have won? Because Warren is as much in the pocket of big banks as anyone.

Centrist my ass. I'm a centrist, he's a neo-liberal.

But neo-liberal in many countries means supporting free markets, capitalism, and lower taxes. I think "statist", "progressive leftist", "communitarian", or "collectivist" would best describe Obama's ideology, as would the dreaded s word ("socialist").

Bush was a great president, albeit with some flaws.
Clinton was all about Clinton. All the policies he is a remembered for, NAFTA, welfare reform, etc--were GOP ideas that he signed on to after the Dems got trashed in the midterm election.
Clinton is the only president to be impeached in the 20th century. By rights he should have resigned in disgrace. Lewinsky was only the tip of the iceberg. There were payoffs from the Chinese and plenty of other unsavory stuff.
It is that Obama is so freaking awful that a serial rapist like Clinton looks good by comparison.

Bill Clinton had some serious issues with morals and telling the truth, Rabbi...something which made me hold him in contempt during much of his eight years in office. I will however give him credit for both intelligence and the political savvy to realize that his Presidency was at a crossroads at that first mid-term election when the Democrats were soundly defeated. Bill Clinton made the deals with Newt Gingrich that saved his Presidency...deals that Barack Obama chose NOT to make. I have a feeling that in private, Bill Clinton regards Barack Obama as a bit of an idiot.
