Obama's approval rating with liberal dems is still over 80%

[Kelvin Mace]

75. Obama only came in from the

anti-gay marriage cold when he was up for re-election, not before. His support for abortion rights, the environment, renewable energy etc, are luke warm and to the right of moderate liberals like Jimmy Carter, who recently said that the surveillance state (which Obama is defending) had gone too far.

As far as whistle-blowers, Obama runs the EXECUTIVE branch charged with upholding the law and prosecuting crime. His "Justice" Department has been heavy on raiding marijuana clinics, prosecuting whistle-blowers while shielding Wall Street and Bush-era criminals, laws and policies.

Closing Guantanamo is a matter of an executive order, not Congress. All he has to do is order the prisoners released, or brought to the U.S. for trial. What will Congress do? Form its own military?

Congress is certainly to blame for a lot that is wrong in this country but Obama has much to answer for. A intellectually honest argument can be made defending his actions, but any argument characterizing Obama as a "liberal" is as specious as the arguments calling him a "Nazi", "Socialist", "Communist" or "foreign born". This country hasn't had a moderately liberal president since Carter, or a genuinely liberal president since LBJ (except for Vietnam).
