Is Barack Obama REALLY A Liberal?

Yes.

Or, I mean, maybe not, according to UPI:

Obama defies categorization, analysts say, despite being rated the most liberal senator in 2007 by the National Journal. He presents himself as appealing to independents and some Republicans, the Post said.

No questions asked in the article about what Obama's policies might or might not be. And, really, this is where it becomes clear that Obama is not only highly partisan, but also seriously dishonest with the American people. As the article quotes John McCain saying, Obama's policies are down-the-line liberal: national health care, Iraq War pullout, high taxes, plenty of new spending on social programs. Of course he isn't presenting himself as a liberal; that's political suicide in national elections. Instead, he's pronouncing himself the candidate of change--even though he harbors the same-old leftist philosophy that has been prominent in the Democratic Party since the 1970s. He's running as a unity candidate, even though his promises are far more partisan and radical than anything George W. Bush has done in the last seven years.

Obama isn't hope for the future; he's straight from our socialist past. Let's just keep him there, shall we?
