Obama is a hard left liberal. However, he is trying to move a center right nation in his direction.

as an academic he understands that you cannot get from A to Z without passing thru I P and V.

many on the left wing (that is Obama's home) dont understand this....

Obama is hard left, but acts centrist out of political pragmatism. He's trying to pick up moderate votes while naively thinking that his hard left base will act like most beaten women do and return to their abusive boyfriend, as they'll believe that Obama is the best they can do. It's pretty clever actually, but I think the hard left is smarter than Obama thinks he is.

I didn't say the hard left was smart. Just smarter (read: relative) than Obama perceives himself.

Of course the leftists mostly will,in the end principles take second place to winning.

It is how they can sit here being unhappy about a new war killing people who have done nothing to us and still think it okay as long as it gets done fast.

Most of what you consider mainstream Repubs are basically leftist lite.

Neo-cons,the group you so despise are mainly left leaning in their thoughts.

No wonder they're considered more racist than conservatives.

Why are we still in Iraq?

I am no friend of the born in Kenya, the product of a communist loon having sex with an entire African village, president but if it ever made it to the supreme court the war powers act would be declared unconstitutional.
