Reply #43: Yeah he gets high numbers from some groups... all politicos do

[nadinbrzezinski]

but he is not a liberal, he is a centrist, and he is also appointing CENTRIST personnel to his administration... or did you miss the names so far? Or do you even KNOW what exactly have all our Third Way economic mavens did during the 1990s? In some cases the 1980s (and the world bank)

There is a reason to that madness, read the OP... but he is a centrist, under the US Political System... and he is such a liberal that he voted the way he did on FISA, for example... and yes I know WHY he did it... the political reasons, but his record is center to center left best case, and that is the US Political scale... not the world scale.

Then again on the WORLD scale ALL our elected politicos, yes even Kucinich, are center to center right, with Dennis slightly to the left of center.

Look NO US president will be allowed to even make it pass the sniffing test if they trend too far to the liberal side, and you can thank Reagan for this...

I am still holding off on major judgment since I do KNOW that US history... and that FDR, the hero of the left, was a centrist when elected back in '32... and the people he appointed, just as Obama's appointees, are very much centrist (and pragmatists)
