If Obama is a far left president why do Liberals attack Obama for being to Moderate?

Right wing extremists keep saying Obama is a far left president.





1.Obama is against Gay marriage.


2.Obama is more pro war most liberals are anti-war.


3,Obama didn't care about the public option just like moderates.








OBAMA IS REALLY A CENTER MODERATE PRESIDENT.|||Because they consider all Independents and most of the Republican party to be leftists. Consider their conviction that the media is left wing, their statements regarding judges appointed by Ford, Reagan %26amp; Bush to be left wing, and their pillorying many Republican congressmen who refuse to vote party line as left wing.





All democrats are far left leftists to them, as they have no depth perception. They describe every Democrat as far left, it is part of their rhetoric, an attempt to pretend they are remotely close to the center.|||You are total idiots! The illegal Dictator, Mr. Obama a moderate, and Republicans being lefties? What planet do you live on? Get real! I'm a Republican and "PATRIOT" to America, NOT a Socialist as Mr. Obama's idiotic sheep (you call Democrats) following him around like they haven't a brain.

Report Abuse


|||On all three of your points, I think you're confusing what President Obama really believes with what he has to do to try to be President of all the people, not just the people who agree with him. Frankly, I think he compromises too much. He could have had the health care bill he wanted, with the public option, had he brought it to a vote a year ago, before Ted Kennedy died. He cared too much about trying to get consensus and cooperation from the Republicans, which he is never going to get no matter what he wants to do.


His actions regarding Afghanistan I think are a reaction to the usual criticism that Democrats are soft on terrorism. I don't think he should have fallen for that. No invader has ever won in Afghanistan, and no one ever will.


I highly doubt he "didn't care" about the public option. He was being realistic.


So, yes, he's not behaving in as liberal a manner as his detractors try to claim.


At this point, I think he should go for broke. He should give up on the idea of getting a second term and do what he knows is right, to be true to his basic principles. And, who knows--that could end up winning back his original supporters and get him that second term.


The Republican party will probably splinter into two groups: the extreme right-wing tea partiers and the more moderate faction. They'll destroy themselves.|||The answer is in your question. You mentioned right wing extremists. If there are extremists on the right, then it stands to follow there are extremists on the left.





Your points one and two may be correct but I feel you are wrong about three. Obama campaigned from the center but governs from the left enough so that the moderates who put him in office no longer support him. Looking at his polls verifys this. He has lost the center and without the center, he cannot win.





To prove he is far left, look at how he handled the healthcare matter or any other matter. He slammed the door shut on any input from the opposition party. This is not the change that he promised us. It's just more of the same.





He is also an empty suit. He had an opportunity early in the oil spill to form a brain-trust to solve the crisis but rather he chose to lie to us with all his "day-one" propaganda and playing the blame game. He focuses on blaming other... it's the mark of a very weak leader.|||It's true that up until he asked America to rebuild its


infrastructure by going green he had advanced no


liberal programs!


The health care bill is a right wing version of insurance regulation,


maybe it can lead to a sort of reasonable behavior in health


care disribution, we'll see.


He's presiding over at least 3 illegal occupations,


Iraq, Afghanistan, and -


could the US PLEASE get OUT of OKINAWA?


It's required under any code of law or decency.





There are 500,000 political prisoners in the US,


the non violent drug offenders behind bars


that Obama does NOT attempt to free.





The US continues to earn a huge GDP and provide miniscule benefits


and security to its population. Most stratified society of its kind.


A society that came into the streets in the tens of millions to


protest the illegal occupations they fund with their labor-


despite the fact that most are working poor.


That's slavery when your political will is defied like that


by a regime.





OK, no, Obama's no left winger. He's definitely a right winger.|||you can't define someone by talking points alone.





obama supports government run corporations, and "redistribution of wealth" (i could go on) the very definition of far left.





it is also interesting to note that isolationism is a conservative view, where as going to war to force your way of life on someone is a liberal one.|||Obama is not a center moderate president...


It's all a matter of perspective. To an American liberal anything to the right of Karl Marx on the left/right spectrum is considered "moderate". By the same token to an American conservative anything to the left of JFK is considered a left wing radical....Obama is somewhere between Marx and JFK...but he's definitely closer to Marx....|||Obama has had to be a center moderate president, simply for the fact of the Blue Dogs. Everything that he proposed or started with was Left. He really wanted the public option, but abandoned it when it became clear that it would never fly.





What he has been able to do is very different on most things then what he set out to do.|||liberals always want to say their man is moderate,they want lines blurred. the truth of the matter is republicans are left of center the center being the constitution,but liberals have blurred it so much they say republicans are right wing . obama is left all liberals are left and to call some moderate is just being dishonest|||Same as with Clinton.


Fox TV screamed that Clinton was a "far left liberal" as he was signing more Republican/Conservative legislation than any President in US history.


It was b******t then, and it's b******t now.|||1. Yet is in favor of repealing "don't ask, don't tell"


2. He's pro-war in what sense? Not keeping his promises to bring troops home?


3. Obama was directly responsible for backroom deals with borderline states to shove health care through, at whatever cost. It has already come to light that plans WILL change, and this is the road to UHC.





Are we forgetting Cap %26amp; Trade? The appointment of numerous Marxist leaning "czars"? Or maybe how he also shoved legislation through that LIMITS FREE SPEECH??|||he is very moderate and has not done anything truly liberal during his time in office... I'm very liberal and I'm starting to get fed up with him being so moderate... we need someone like Kucunich in the office... he's awesome... however that point of view is not convenient for conservatives... they are trying very hard to scare people into believing that Obama is a Communist Terrorist Hitler from Somalia that creates plots to destroy America instead of sleeping at night...|||Obama is simply what George Soros tells him to be , Obama never had the political clout or resources to get himself elected , he had to have a Soros in his corner . Dont you think Soros wants a little payback ?|||He is against gay marriage because of his Muslim faith. Obama is also fighting the war like a wimp.





He is definitely a left-wing radical.|||What? Seems to me your trying really hard to find something you can like about the "half black messiah".





Intentional ignorance of the truth = liberal insanity.|||Obama says ONE thing, but His administrations' policies do exactly the opposite.|||Because they are even farther left than this radical left wing president|||Why do leftists complain? Not enough Government handouts.|||It seems they are disappointed that he is not destroying America as fast as they would like.
