Gallup poll: "Majority Now Say Obama's Policies 'Mostly Liberal'"

[Christopher]

In U.S., Majority Now Say Obama’s Policies "Mostly Liberal"

A majority of Americans now see President Barack Obama as governing from the left. Specifically, 54% say his policies as president have been mostly liberal while 34% call them mostly moderate. This contrasts with public expectations right after Obama's election a year ago, when as many expected him to be moderate as to be liberal.

Also:

While most Americans say it is important to them that President Obama keep the promises he made during the campaign (82%), far fewer, 48%, currently believe he has done so. This represents a slide in support for the president on this measure since April, when nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) said he was keeping his promises.

Looks like he is keeping his promise of being transparent in one sense; more and more people are starting to see through him.

The majority of Americans seem to not have a clue what a Liberal is then.

His policies are as illiberal as they come.

Authoritarian is more like it.

This is what happens when you elect a guy that can give a perfectly pronounced speech, with staged lighting and greek columns--"whose only experience was a community organizer"--

As a commuintiy organizer who delegates work. So he delegates very liberal Nancy Pelosi to write the stimulus bill, the cap & trade bill & the health care bill--& the community organizer who delegates all work--simply becomes the salesman of Nancy Pelosi policy-- This while he is out there on the trail campaigning something of which he is excellent at, while Nancy Pelosi is working her butt off- to dismantel over 250 years of this countries economic infracstructure, all by herself & rebuild it from the basement up---LOL.

In fact, instead of Reagan's--Trickle down economics--we now have "Obama's flood the basement economics."

How's all that hopey & changey working for ya?

I really don't think that there is anything wrong with being liberal if you mean as someone who believes that freedom resides in the individual. This kind of liberalism is one most everyone will agree with but the people proclaiming to be "liberals" today are nothing more than Socialist and that is not a liberal philosophy.
