Obama can lurch to the middle

all he wants, but he is a sheep in wool's clothing. It is patently ridiculous for anyone to mistake Barack Obama for anything but a liberal bordering on radical.
Let's look at his record on abortion. He is to the left of Planned Parenthood. In the Illinois Senate he voted for a bill that would have made it legal to kill a baby after a botched abortion. He has been in favor of every single abortion practice around, and any limits to abortion, have been met with rhetoric about "slippery slopes". His most recent tempering of his stance on partial birth abortion is a red herring. He has never met an abortion procedure he won't vote for.
On immigration, he is unabashedly pro open borders. He is on record as being in favor of the DREAM act. In the Illinois legislature, he lead the charge to give illegal aliens driver's licenses. He is against the SAVE act. He is against the fence, and more national guard. He has spoken in front of La Raza and proclaimed that he stood side by side with immigrants, meaning illegal immigrants.
On the economy, his entire platform is more taxes, more government spending, and more regulations.
This is a true blue liberal. Period. Here is how I defined his liberalism...
