In reply to the discussion: Greenwald: Vote Obama – If You Want a Centrist Republican for US President [View all]MadHound
(34,179 posts)2. Yep, the fact of the matter is that Obama is somewhere to the right of Eisenhower,
A sad statement that shows just how far both parties have moved to the right. Worse yet, some people actually consider him to be some sort of progressive or liberal, when the facts show plainly that he isn't. The only way he comes across as remotely liberal is when you compare him to the batshit crazy lunatics coming out of the Republican clown car.

Too bad President Obama is so quick to use war as a negotiating tool, unlike Eisenhower
