Is Barack Obama a Tory?

I've been saying this all along.  Which is why it's bewildering to me that some say he's "far left."

The center is further to the right in America. In America, supporting UHC at all is considered left-wing. Is Obama far-left? No. But he's pretty clearly left by our standards.

kind of a bizarre claim as a majority of the population in the US has favored some sort of a universal system for decades.  this is true even after the propaganda onslaught of the past 3 years.

Right, which means our political spectrum of what is accepted in mainstream politicians is shifted far to the right of the mainstream of the first world.

you're preaching to the strange choir -- Vosem has already proudly proclaimed this from the rooftops.
