42. Interesting,
except I can't figure out where you get the idea that Obama would represent the "Left."

He's a conservative. There's nothing about his stances on policies that support the goals, or the ideology, of the Left. He distanced himself from the left a long time ago. Praising Reagan for "changing the trajectory," while criticizing the "excesses" of the 60s and 70s.

As far as I can see, there will be no "Left" in the Obama administration, and the "Left" will not be represented.

Of course, I never thought we would be, which is why I bitterly opposed his nomination all the way to the convention.

For the record: I didn't support HRC, either.
