President Obama: A Radical Liberal Moderate Conservative Socialist Corporate Stooge?

[Burgman]

Who is this masked man?

Ask the Professional Left, and they’ll tell you President Obama’s in bed with big business, sold out the 99%, broke his promises about closing Gitmo, isn’t ending the wars in a speedy enough fashion, and hasn’t done enough for the gays.

Ask Republicans, and they’ll say he’s a socialist who wants to turn the country into one big money melting pot and distribute it evenly among the masses, that he pals around with terrorists and, though just a child at the time, was undoubtedly the mastermind behind Bill Ayers​’ and the Weather Underground‘s domestic terrorism.

Ask the teabaggers, and they’ll tell you that he’s damn near a communist, the stimulus was a complete and total failure, healthcare reform is going to be the death of society as we know it, and the unemployment rate would have come down anyway. And he’s not a Christian. And he hails from Kenya.

1. Professional Leftist here

I'll vote for Obama despite his failures. I will push for Elizabeth Warren for 2016 and if she doesn't run or doesn't win I will still vote Democratic to keep the GOP out of office.

I also work to get liberals elected locally and further up the chain so we have more liberals to choose from.

But I will NOT betray my party and help the GOP in the name of purity. By GOD.

3. Obama's a Rorschach Test

Some people see the antithesis of their worldviews. Others see the culmination of them. Still others see the best outcome possible. I see a guy who realized he could be president.

7. You can't get to the truth by splitting the difference between facts and foolishness.

By objective standards, the President is to the RIGHT of traditional "progressive" values on a range of issues, both foreign and domestic.
