Where do you place Obama on the Left/Right scale
"The Democratic incumbent has surrounded himself with conservative advisors and key figures — many from previous administrations, and an unprecedented number from the Trilateral Commission. He also appointed a former Monsanto executive as Senior Advisor to the FDA. He has extended Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, presided over a spiralling rich-poor gap and sacrificed further American jobs with recent free trade deals.Trade union rights have also eroded under his watch. He has expanded Bush defence spending, droned civilians, failed to close Guantanamo, supported the NDAA which effectively legalises martial law, allowed drilling and adopted a soft-touch position towards the banks that is to the right of European Conservative leaders."
Never realized those were tenets of Socialism.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
He's a card-carrying Communist and as such must be shot!
I place him at about 943 Metres away from me in my scope at the moment... Come closer... And don't hold your tie, let it help me judge windage...

Well, look at his Cabinet, then make a decision. Some real weird wackos in there, but some moderates as well. Van Jones, Holder, Chu, Napolitano, the SCOTUS freaks he appointed, and plenty more. Very disconcerting folks in there.
Tough to really say. If he gets re-elected then we shall really see. He will come out of his closet and do all kinds of radical ****, IMO. He is really trying to "play" both sides ATM to get re-elected and then unleash his true ideals.

So you are not a fan of democracy, are you?

Democracy is the rule of the mundane.
Dictatorship is the rule of those bright enough to rise to the top. And it gets **** done. Just like slavery in fact; seen the pyramids?
Obama was left. But how far left? Not that far. He was to the right of Sanders though
He was waaaaaaay left. Anyone saying anything else is either stupid or lying.
lol @ waaaaaaaaaaaaay left.
Why, because he wanted to nationalize healthcare like every other major industrialized nation?
Corporations kicked ass during his tenure.
The wealthy mostly did well too.
And nobody grabbed anybody's guns or Bibles
All things considered, I'd rank him as left of center - where he's received the most votes in this poll.

Seriously though, I think Obama is far left in his ideology (FDR didn't go far enough, you didn't build that, spread the wealth, Orwell's 1984 was more of an instructional manual, etc.) but governed center left. ok, nudging a little closer to che. there, that should do it.

Marxism

The ACA was steeped in lies and was created to fail to ***** a single payer system
The first thing Castro did after the revolution was to create a healthcare system in Cuba.
Marxism
Police state tactics of targeting conservative groups using the IRS.
Cap and Trade
DOJ fining corporations billions and diverting the funds to left-wing organizations in a government sanctioned shakedown.
DOJ takeover of *************** agencies.
Nothing far left about Obama. Nothing at all.
I said/thought that from the start and have the PMs to prove it. I have no doubt that Obama is a marxist at heart but he couldn't govern that way, not in this country, not at this point in it's history. We still have checks and balances including an armed citizenry (thank you Founders).

I meant to quote Bodie's post for the response. But clicked on yours and had responded before I noticed it.

The debt literally doulbed under that monkey's tenure. (For the record that monkey Bush before Obama was nearly as bad...)
It's ok, you don't have to qualify that statement - we knew what you meant the first time.
Obama is Center-Right.
Anyone who thinks Obama is a leftist doesn't know what the left stands for.
General Motors being bailed out by a leftist :rofl2:
Wall Street being bailed out by a leftist :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
He did not pushed for raising the minimum wage, single payer healthcare, free college, legalizing weed, he gave billions ot both Israel and Saudi Arabia, he made Bush's tax cuts permanent. Yeah, obviously he's a leftist

Hey dipshit.
Before you go into a emoticon ****..
Government took an ownership position in each of those programs which is socialism.
Cash For Clunkers was a program ****** upon the auto industry in exchange for their money and was used as a ploy to rid the country of so called gas guzzlers and to pave the way in failed green technology.
Talk about socialism..remember Solyndra?
Poor Johan.
He tries. He really does.
Plus it was Bush that initiated both bail outs. Interesting how nobody ever refers to him as a marxist.
Yep. As left as it gets

Actually Bush assisted the incoming administration's wishes as he was getting the hell out of there and couldn't even show his face at the RNC. But suffice it to say and it is even more obvious now that Bush is no conservative.
Obama is on audio talking about wealth redistribution ..I'm sure he had a plan for free tuition and wage hikes within the these "Center right" ideals.
Obama was stopped from implementing much of his Marxist agenda. It was not by choice.
He is even talking about the constitution in terms of what government should do.spoken like a true Marxist
The constitution is dedicated to what government can't do and should not do.
Well, I heard that Sarah Palin calledt the American HealtCare Act "socialism" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lin-blasts-GOP-healthcare-plan-socialism.html
In that case, yes, Obama is a socialist. And so is Paul Ryan. And, since Trump called it "a thing of beauty", I guess he's to be put in the socialist category as well.
