In U.S., Majority Now Say Obama’s Policies "Mostly Liberal

Apparently you are in the minority.

I'm not in the minority. I completely agree with the majority that his policies are "mostly liberal." I've been arguing that for what now seems like forever.

How long until the majority recognise that Obama is a radical?

The majority apparently has a sufficient sense of proportion and a sufficient understanding of the political continuum to know that progressives are to the left of liberals and radicals are to the left of progressives. This gives them the ability to make an apt differentiation. "Mostly liberal" is way, way short of radical. So, unless Obama drastically shifts his stance to the left, he will not be perceived by the majority as radical. To wingnuts, of course, everyone to the left of McCain is a radical and they're not too sure about him. <g>
