I would say moderate or centrist. He doesn't look too far left to me. If u want a leftist, go to France in the 1980s.

And where exactly do you find that Obama supports such ideas? Please provide me a link to prove your point, and do me the courtesy of posting in something approaching standard English, seriously, what is up with the text-speakesque posting? Don't get me wrong, the occasional typo is understandable, I make plenty myself, but seriously.

You know he's not going to provide anything to back up what he said.

I am not saying Obama support what I said, cause he is not a leftist. I am just saying what a leftist could do if in power. Be glad none of the candidates are leftist.

Far leftist to the brink of a rightist communist... only because he can never change the U.S. to a communist government (which he wants to by the way, he justs doesn't have the political power to do it)...

Actually, I'd prefer Obama support some of those ideas, I am actually further to the left of him on several issues, including the death penalty, which I'd fully support seeing completely abolished. However, Obama is a moderate, both economically and socially, and I say this as one who holds views to his left (and as one whose views mirror those of many mainstream European politicians, and as such often find myself roundly mocked by my fellow Americans, especially those on the right end of the spectrum).
