No, that would be George Washington. He and the founding fathers were beyond radicals, they were revolutionaries. They completely overturned the status quo.

I'm not sure yet. He isn't the first to try and change the healthcare system but he did push it thorough. Is that radical? Nothing else he has done stands out as any more radical than anything other Presidents have done.

Forcing healthcare down the throats of the people when the polls clearly showed they did not want it?


People will be fined or arrested if they do not get the healthcare?


Naaa.....that's normal stuff.

Most people voted for him on a healthcare reform platform. He did what he did dispite the opposition. That in itself isn't "radical", or at least it shouldn't be when it comes to leadership. Maybe that's the problem...we don't see people following through on their promises these days and are *shocked* when they do.

Arrested...can't take you seriously now can we?
