- Obama had no choice in extending the Bush tax cuts, if he didn't the economy would be definitively worse than it already is and he wouldn't even have a shot at winning in Nov. His position is higher taxes and "spreading the wealth around" , no way to deny that. - What a Dem controlled Congress passed was not what the GOP originally designed. - Dramatic decrease in fed workers.....you need to check out your own liberal sites? Read this from Politifact: http://www.thewarpath.net/newreply.p...reply&p=929070 From the link: "First, let’s look at federal government employment, which accounts for just 13 percent of all government employment. The number of federal workers has increased by 38,000 over the same period -- an increase of 1.4 percent. And if you separate out the U.S. Postal Service, the growth was even bigger. Non-postal federal employment -- about 10 percent of all government employment -- increased over the same period by 139,000 workers, or 6.7 percent." - Added 5M jobs???? Are you kidding me? This is from the Communist News Network in Jan. 2012, I know the private sector didn't add 6M jobs since then: Did Obama really make government bigger? - Jan. 25, 2012 "The federal government has been one of the few areas that's grown during the economic downturn. The private sector remains down 1.1 million jobs from the start of 2009, while state and local governments have shed 635,000 positions. Actual facts from Fox News in June 2012 By going back 27 months, Obama starts counting at the low point of employment for the private sector in February 2010 and tracks how far it has come. But counting farther back, since the end of the recession in June 2009, private-sector job gains have been much more modest, 3.1 million. That's a more meaningful measurement to economists. Overall, the economy has lost 1.37 million jobs — 784,000 in the private sector — since Obama was inaugurated. Read more: FACT CHECK: Where Obama, Romney missed mark | Fox News Just thought I'd throw these out. Obama was rated by National Journal as the most liberal senator for 2007 and 10th most liberal in 2006. Don't try to cover for Obama's far-left positions, he is who he is. He needs to just come out and make the case for European Socialism to the American people and let the chips fall where they may.

In the process of extending the Bush tax cuts for 2 years Republicans made some concessions. That's politics; the art of compromise. Good grief, man. If Obama was such an ideologue, as you claim, he would have absolutely let the tax cuts expire and drove the country off the cliff. But he didn't. As far as the rest of your claims, they really don't mean anything if you see all of the president's actions through the lens of "far left". On many accounts, he's been a pragmatist. Shocker! Not always getting optimal results, but on a range of issues, particularly foreign policy, Obama's been more centrist than his opponents would like to admit. |
