And 78% see Obama as "a politician ", and in the worst sense of the word. In the snake oil sense.
He got into office by misleading Democratic voters, running to the left of Hillary Clinton. He convinced centrists that he was a centrist. He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.
But first and foremost, Obama is a lawyer, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word, in the sense of choosing his words very carefully (lawyer-sp eak) during the campaign, giving people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote. Like Bush-speak , which utilized oxym0rons like Clear Skies Initiative and No Child Left Behind for legislati0n that were friendly to the envir0nment or children's education.
It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a Iiberal or a centrlst or a m0derate RepubIican. The debate about what Obama is is over: "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat".
Blue Dog = (might as well be registered as a) Republican
IdeologicaIIy, Obama's a Republican -- More precisely he's a neoliberal (no relationshlp to liberal at all).
Doing what is good for transnati0nal corporati0ns is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards. He's the epitome of the 1950s RepubIican, "What's good for GM is good for America."
He did a job on everybody, including you it seems.
