Reply #23: Universal health care is left

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

Obama's health care plan is clearly moderate, more moderate even than Hillary's was. Ending the war in Iraq is an across the board Dem position, not left or center. Wanting early childhood expanded is hardly a leftist point of view - it's pretty mainstream core Dem, as is fixing education through the repeal or hearty reworking of NCLB. His view on "preserving choice" includes a caveat restricing some so-called late term abortions - hardly a leftist view. Another core Dem policy is lowering the tax burden from the middle/low class and shifting it to the wealthy - hardly a leftist position.

But thanks for your thoughtful yet snarky post.
