that would all be so peachy keen if only he'd forego the speech police role and fear mongering. See Brumar 89's post # 250836 He's not "new", he's a typical liberal/socialist..........period.

It was the non-political National Journal who ranked Obama the most liberal Senator for 2007: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the other front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, also shifted to the left last year. She ranked as the 16th-most-liberal senator in the 2007 ratings, a computer-assisted analysis that used 99 key Senate votes, selected by NJ reporters and editors, to place every senator on a liberal-to-conservative scale in each of three issue categories. In 2006, Clinton was the 32nd-most-liberal senator. nj.nationaljournal.com The previous two years, Obama ranked 16th and 10th most liberal, still solidly left-wing. Their site explains the rankings. We didn't make it up.

Obama is simply a typical hard left liberal from Harvard who George Soros identified as his instrument to enact radically anti-American leftist ideals.

SrK: Obama IS part of the "system". It's just not the Washington inside-the-beltway system. Based on what I've seen, Obama rather sold his soul to Chicago politics. That's nothing new. And it's certainly not the politics of "change" or "hope." I think it's time for his supporters to wake up and smell the coffee burning. I know that won't happen, because of the sedative effect of his sonorous and rather boring rhetoric.

Sr K As you wrote---- "Some people say Obama has never run anything larger than his campaign (comparing him, for instance, to Mitt Romney). If the campaign is evidence of how he would have a fresh approach to our government's operations - and he did say meetings on healthcare would be broadcast on the Internet - I think his Administration would be fresh, innovative, and inclusive (in the sense of considering input) in ways the public can barely imagine." Question to you--- Why would anyone compare Obama to Mitt Romney?
