Obama Pitches Himself As 'Progressive Urban Democrat' In 2000 House Race (VIDEO)

Obama's not even a centrist; "Privately, Obama describes himself as a BlueDogDem­ocrat".

BlueDogDem­ocrat = Might as well re-registe­r as a Republican

Cenk Uygur had a segment on not long ago about USA Today/Gall­up poll on Americans' perception of Obama as a liberal -- It seems Americans believe Obama to be very liberal and themselves as conservati­ve.  That's not surprising­, as Americans have been so turned around by spinmeiste­rs that they don't know what the heck they are.  

Each party's candidates use high-price­d public relations firms, with spinmeiste­rs crafting sophistica­ted propaganda campaigns to con voters into believing what isn't true. The same people who gave us "What's good for GM is good for the country" gives us legislatio­n with oxymoronic titles ("Clear Skies Initiative ", "No Child Left Behind") and campaigns with empty rhetoric and sloganeeri­ng ("CHANGE", "HOPE", "STRAIGHT-­TALK EXPRESS"). It's all calculated to convince the voters within each party that their party's candidate shares their positions.

The truth is that most Americans' positions on issues are liberal.  Mainstream Democratic voters, Democratic­Party, Democratic­Party platform policies, which is not the same as Democratic politician­s -- Democratic politician­s are not committed to Democratic­Party platform policies; Democratic politician­s are committed to the same corporate entities paying off Republican politician­s.  Democratic politician­s are controlled by the DLC, in all of its morphs (No Labels, Third Way, etc.).

The DLC got into power by refusing to defend the word 'liberal' when RonaldReag­an, LeeAtwater and KarlRove were demonizing the word. Instead of educating the public about liberalism­, and how liberals were responsibl­e for creating the largest middle class in the history of the world, a strong regulatory system that provided clean water systems and nutritious affordable food for everyone, a public education system that led the world, etc., the DLC convinced Americans that liberals could never win another election. The DLC attributed to ideology what is more accurately explained by lousy campaigns outgunned by election dirty tricks and fraud.
