Barack Obama

If your political ideology is in the realm of the extreme left, this guy is your man. Another in a long line of Dems summed up as all style and no substsance. UPDATE: Obama, in an interview with the Des Moines Register right afterward, told the paper, ''I was actually upset with myself when I said that, because I never use that term,'' he said. ''Their sacrifices are never wasted. . . . What I meant to say was those sacrifices have not been honored by the same attention to strategy, diplomacy and honesty on the part of civilian leadership that would give them a clear mission."...This in response to his insulting statement that the lives of our brave soldiers and Marines in Iraq had been "wasted".

since you have chosen to "bow out", I will not reply, other than to thank you for the response.

see, you sort of let the cat out of the bag when you say "even to the left of hilary." again, hilary is about as centrist as they come (as was her husband). In fiscal terms, hilary could be considered more conservative than president bush. But I sense one of those pointless political arguments coming, so I will respectfully bow out now. Leftists, btw, would be Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards, and possibly Al Gore (who has moved that direction since the Clinton days).

I fail to see how you would not "rate" him (pardon the pun) as a leftist. His ratings, Senate voting record are far ledt- even to the left of Hilary. What personally do you consider "to the left"?

sounds like a little fear in your voice? but seriously, nobody who's paying attention puts Obama on the far left. He's a reach across the aisle kind of guy - with his minimal track record, that's really all we know about him. No need to make stuff about him with so many obvious vulnerabilities to choose from...
