Yeah! The Libbos have done a bang up job, since they got the reins. :lamo
A liberal president would have cut military spending by two-thirds.

Then why did he issue a signing statement?
Well, no, it takes Congress to do that. Which points out how ridiculous our expectations of a president are, on both sides. They can't do everything. They can't snap their fingers and fix the economy or balance the budget.

What we need is a liberal.
No, at this point what we need is a candidate who is not a product of the machine -- not a party Democrat, not a party Republican. It wouldn't even matter what their personal politics are, just so long as they're not a member of The Sell-Out Club.
You're full of lame excuses to justify your completely indefensible opinions tonight.
I didn't say we needed a Democrat or a Republican. I said we needed a liberal. History shows us however that the majority of Americans prefer moderate candidates, which is why the 2008 race was between the moderate candidates of both parties. I'm willing to bet it will be the same in the November election, the moderate GOP candidate, Romney, against the moderate Democrat candidate, Obama.

In all fairness I would not call Obama a moderate in the 2008 race. He was one of the most liberal senators and mainly won the election (in my opinion) due to the dislike and distrust that Americans had for the Republicans (largely due to Bush's presidency).
I know you didn't say we needed a Democrat or a Republican. I'm saying we need -anything- so long as it's not a product of either of those parties -- liberal or conservative, I don't even care anymore.
Regardless of what you think Digsbe, Obama has led as a moderate. He's even too hawkish for conservative Ron Paul, much less a real liberal like Kucinch.
So which third party are you working for to help build their grassroots support?
I think he has been forced to govern more moderately because he has a Republican majorty House to deal with. However, in 2008 when he ran for president I would not say (based on Obama's voting record as a senator) that he was a moderate.
It will be interesting to see how Obama campaigns during the 2012 election and if his rhetoric will become more centrist in nature.
Looks like your dreamboy ran up against reality.God damnit Obama.... Acting like Bush i see?
Just goes to show ya. Dems and Repubs are pretty much the same....
There are no provisions in the Constitution that would allow a president to target an American citizen for death without due process either.
Not only that, but a citizen can not be "deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process" is pretty clear, too. What part of that does the current government not understand?
So, I was under no impression Obama was a liberal when I voted for him. He was just better than the alternative, that is all.
So if we had had Charles Manson (D) running against Ted Bundy (R) it'd be Manson all the way because he did not actually kill as many people (oh yah and he's Dem). A candidate we can believe in!!
"Lesser of two evils" is why every problem with corrupt government is all OUR fault.

If Ron Paul is your picture perfect definition of conservative and Kucinich is the same for liberal, then yes...Obama is a moderate centrist.
As was George W. Bush
As is almost every politician that's significantly ran for POTUS.
Yep, the majority of Americans pick moderates for presidents, that was my point. It explains why in 2008, we had moderates from both parties as the main contenders.
I'm willing to bet we have the party moderates again in November with Romney vs Obama.
