That's your opinion fed by right wing propaganda, not based on anything Obama has done or said. I think most of the nation is now seeing the Republican party as having obstructed government progress. They also are seeing things they don't trust about Mitt like failure to disclose his taxes, corporations are people, the etch a sketch comment by his team, and the comment that they don't care about fact checkers. The only ones that trust Romney is his Republican base.

Additionally, over the last few years, we've seen the far right propose personhood amendments, anti-abortion legislation, and anti-Union movements in many states; perpetuate the birther nonsense; mumble about starting a brand new war (!) with Iran; deny climate change; brand those who disagree with them as anti-patriotic and even downright Socialist; choose obstructionism over cooperation, and religious intolerance over science; decry education; and even repeatedly claim that teachers are paid too much. Think about that. Teachers. Paid too much. Obama, on the other hand, perpetuated the war in Afghanistan, modeled his health-care reform and cap-and-trade plans after Republican templates, extended the Bush-era tax cuts, and completely ignored gun control, even after Gabby Giffords was shot through the head. He has a lot more room on his left before he can be labelled fringe. |

Thank goodness for obstruction of government progress. Government progress gave us >8% unemployment, <2% growth, and a deficit expanding government takeover of healthcare without any progress on keeping healthcare costs under control. We don't need any more of that progress.

I just don't seem moderate to you, because you're on the right. If you're standing in the end zone, someone on the 50 looks pretty far away. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just an observation of perception; I have some reeeeeealllly left-leaning friends who think I'm the physical manifestation of the John Birch Society.
And even if Obama is more liberal than Clinton and Carter, a statement of which I am not convinced for the reasons I gave above, that's only a sample of three. Not exactly a damnation. |

Edit: Also, I should add that I haven't been here long, so there have been a lot of topics I just haven't been around for yet. I've noticed that before, that I probably come across more lefty than I really am, because I haven't said anything about a lot of stuff - probably the most notable is abortion, which I don't even bring up around my liberal friends.

I'm a moderate, and there's no way in hell I'd vote for Obama, so I guess I agree with that assessment.
