"Obama is the most left-wing President in US history" [View all]

[YoungDemCA]

Now, I haven't been around an awful long time (as indicated by my username ), but I'm fairly certain that America's current POTUS is not nearly as "Left" as right-wingers give him "credit" for.

I remember, for example, from the 2008 presidential campaign, the President being a big-time "hawk"on Afghanistan and on going after al-Qaeda and similar groups as part of the Global War on Terror. The controversial drone strikes in Pakistan are a part of that hawkish foreign policy.

I also remember the conspicuous LACK of a public option in the Affordable Health Care Act.

In addition, I have been following the Obama administration's aggressive policies on cracking down on both medical marijuana dispensaries and undocumented (illegal) workers and immigrants.

Oh, and there's also the huge controversy over the Wall Street bank bailouts, or the way the auto bailouts have brought back the PRIVATE (capitalist) auto industry.

There's been a disturbing growth in income and wealth inequality since the recession "ended" and the "recovery" began. It look like most of that recovery is going to the wealthiest Americans.

The Bush tax cuts being extended. The creation of the "Cat Food" Commission. The administration's education policies. The relative lack of cuts to defense spending. The focus on deficit reduction and "entitlement reform" by the administration. The way in which ordinary Americans still struggle, while the business and Wall Street community are better than ever. And on and on...

If this is a scary left-wing socialist President, then his actions sure hide that well!
