You have to define left winger. Obama's ACA is a mandate to buy health insurance from corporations. Look at his appointments, especially trade representative. Free trader. Obama's pushed free trade since day one. Also the Trans Pacific Partnership, which he will push through. He's pushed the Bush education policy and cheered the firing of school teachers, and his pal Arnie Duncan never saw a charter school he didn't like. Obama talks like a leftie on the campaign trail and that's where it ends. He doesn't look like a leftie liberal to me, at least not like a Kucinich or Bernie Sanders.
Maybe immigration reform, homosexual marriage and gun control he's on the left, but on economic issues, which is what really matters to me, he's probably more of a republican than reagan, his hero.
And, he's a hawk.
