Obama is not liberal

[lizbeth]

3, I voted for him too :-p

And that's about it then - the tree of us. Which is too bad, he is very well qualified, but way left.

Hyper libral is not the way to fix the US economy... the centralist govornment will allow him to work better with both liberal and conservative senators and get the job DONE.... betrayal? no, realist?  yes

[tekla]

I don't think he ran as a liberal, he ran as a 'not neo-con' more than anything else.

while I agree in principal, it has shown that there is just too much partisan politics at play. obama bent over backwards to get republican input and support and not one single republican in the house voted in favor of the stimulus.

at this point, the conservatives in our government are pretty much irrelevant, the house is a clear cut democratic majority, and the senate is just shy of a fillabuster proof majority and there are only 22 republican govs left. the state legislatures except for the south are almost all democratic majorities now too.

the democrats don't NEED the republicans at all, but yet they are still trying their hardest to bring them along. the state legislatures are all anxiously awaiting these federal funds along with just about every governor.

The Department of Homeland Security, the NSA, and the CIA should all be disbanded.


Right Now!

After eight years of right conservative goverment Obama promized change. But his cabinet and program are centrist not left-liberal. It seems that many liberal voters have been betroyd.

He is just playing smart politics.  A President is only as powerful as his congress allows him to be.  He will need to have Congress united behind his cause if he is to have any hope of turning this country around in 4 years, which will not happen unless he reaches out to those with disparate views from his own.

Additionally, from what I have read, he is a big fan of Lincoln, who also filled his cabinet with his political rivals.

In 2012 the conservative media secures that Sarah Palin will become the first female president of the United States.

Not a chance in hell.

Trust me... If she were President I would be dead somewhere of self-inflicted wounds... Or in British Columbia smoking myself retarded.

I agree, the units were stronger and more responsive under the control of the various departments, then all fighting under the same one.  Bad idea.

There are probably a lot of useless departments that could be eliminated.

I'm thinking of getting a sniper job with the IRS.
