“Obama is so far left that even life long Democrats are having a problem with him.”
Far “Left” eh? could you define what that means? If it means that Obama’s concerns lie firmly with the middle-class, and blue collar workers, and those entrapped by grinding poverty whose incomes have flat-lined during the Bush years instead of the wealthy whose income has grown by a healthy 9%, then yes, Obama is “far Left.” If you are speaking of getting us out of this very expensive entanglement with Iraq, and using the billions saved in doing so, to help average Americans get back on their feet by investing in a sensible Healthcare Program that invites all Americans to participate in, then yes, Obama is “far Left.” If you are speaking of the Obama who wants to give average Americans a $1,000 tax credit toward their payroll taxes, then yes, he is a “Lefty,” or maybe you are referring a return to the PAYGO system of spending that allowed Clinton to balance the budget by 1999 (no unfunded programs, and no more Bush era “borrow and spend) that all the Democrats are committed to, then yes, think “Left.” Or possibly you are thinking of Obama’s interest in getting Americans off of the foreign Oil teat by exploring other renewable energy options such as Nuclear energy…then he is Guilty as charged. Or is it the pro-small business Obama who wants to make business loans, and tax credits more easily available to small business owners that tilts him left? Could it be the tax incentives that Obama proposes offering to Companies that keep Jobs in the USA? Or is the fact that Obama would rather make real changes to our broken educational system instead of passing meaningless unfunded mandates such as “no child left behind.” Yep, that Obama…practically a communist (or maybe he is a Patriotic Pragmatist?), LOL.
