What this thread is likely getting at is that many people who are causing problems view Obama as further left than centre-left, which he hardly is. Any claims to socialism placed on Obama are a bit silly because similar claims could be placed on Republican presidents as well.
It would seem that perhaps America should own up to its own socialism rather than pretend it's against it.
