no, and he's not extreme. it's hyperpartisanism. Bush was not Adolph Hitler, and Obama is not chairman Mao. those who argue based on emotion rather than logic need fiery slogans and rhetoric, however.
Obama's reversal on the patriot act was something i found disappointing. starting the health care debate with a public option as the initial proposal rather than UHC also ensured failure of meaningful reform, but there was little that he could do about that one.
there is a lot of time for the global situation to change between now and the election, and his response could make it pretty hard for me to vote for him. however, as it stands now, he will be the first president that i ever have voted for twice. i thoroughly consider every candidate running in each election, and i vote for the one who is closest to my own views. i don't find any of the Republican candidates appealing.
