| 15. I find your statement to be false in lieu of Obama's past actions. |

You never said policies---and based on the nature of other posts in a similar vein, it's all about the man using the guise policy critique and I'm a bit fed up with it.
And it gets even more silly to say it's policy when in regards to corporations he's going after off shore business accounts, he wants mandates forcing businesses to provide insurance to ALL workers, he's putting caps on bonuses, opening a separate entity to actually oversee the SEC and Fed, and various other things. But you disregard all of that and say he's a corporatist.
AS for right-wing---I don't know. If he was, he wouldn't be ending the war in Iraq and putting a timeline to remove troops in Afghanistan. He wouldn't actually have signed a bill to provide funding for community health programs not only in the US but also in our commonwealths-- it's a bit to socialist for them, he wouldn't have created a department addressing the Urbanization issue and all issues pertaining to it---that's new under his watch in which we're looking at urban sprawl, gang movement, and redevelopment of poor neighborhods.
But none of that means anything because to you all he is is a Repub Corporatist clone. I'm not saying that some of his policies don't lean a bit anti-left (I've had my issues with him on that). But I'm not about to sit there and post misleading and ill-representative posts with such a narrowed point of view that it really isn't worth to respond too.
By your statement, you just belied your intention. You claim it's about policy when obviously it's far reaching than that or you would have refrained from sweeping a broad brush over the Obama presidency---so far.

A simile is not a didactic analysis. Using the word "like" makes it a comparison of similarities. |
