President Obama is not a Libertarian..He is a liberal

[Peacetrain]

I have been seeing a lot again questioning President Obamas liberal stances. He has kept his promises, and he ran as a liberal Democrat.. he is a liberal Democrat..and it hit me..

Some people have confused libertarian, progressive, and liberal. They have a jumbled up view, that comprises all of those things together.. and that is one thing the President is not.. is a libertarian.

1. Wow, if people are going that far on this site, then grantcart's observation about the irrelevance

of DU was only a glimmer of how truly irrelevant this place has become.

2. The president could be best described as a liberal although his willingness to work

with others to get things accomplished will often allow others to paint him as a centrist. Plus I think the real fight is over the liberal title. I think it was a mistake to give up our liberal heritage to the President's critics. We have just as much right to our ideology as they have.
