Obama isn't far enough to the left for me, either. There are a lot of people like that, and there's nothing particularly shocking about this. Despite the corporate media's efforts to paint him as a wild-eyed radical socialist loon, he's pretty fucking centrist. Most of us realize that, and unless our purity of soul is such that we're mortally scandalized by the idea that politicians make compromises, we accept that he's still a big improvement over the prancing jagoff who preceded him, or anyone the opposition has to offer. Or anyone who's likely to get 51% of the votes in this not-very-bright country.
But when I hear a self-described moderate say he's worse than Beck, my idiot-dar goes off.
