Obama has always been more like John Kennedy. Not a left wing ideologue. I remember a lot of folks on the far left who were not happy with Kennedy either.
As much as it might satisfy some of my persuasions, the country doesn't need a hard jolt to the left. What we need in this time of extreme economic, and global danger is stability.
