40. If Obama wasn't POTUS

it would just be another Democratic POTUS that he would be railing against. Newt and the entire GOP believe that they are entitled to perpetually be in charge of the country (even though they profess to loathe government) and, consequently, having a Democratic POTUS, no matter who it is, would be "radical" (to them). :eyes:
I remember some group (Media Matters) putting together Fox News commentary on Kerry in 2004 claiming that he was the most liberal Democrat in the Senate and near-identical commentary on Obama in 2008. It was rather jarring to watch. Even the most conservative Democrat out there gets pegged as a liberal. Some people are SO nutty where I live (Indiana) that they actually have called Bayh "liberal".
:wtf:
