Ann Coulter Slams Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Says Liberal Women Shouldn't Be In Office (VIDEO)

I'm not  surprised by your confusion.  Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton.  It's why even his 'most ardent admirers' still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican­.  He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.  He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.

About his own political appeal, Obama has said, “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”  

Obama is NOT a liberal, not a progressive, he's not even a centrist.  Not by his policies, not by his actions, not by his own admission:  "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat".    

(Blue Dog = Might as well re-register as a Republican­).

We see with his war policies that he's a continuation of BushCheney, has signed on to their 'Long War'.  That and the rest of his policies make him in addition to being a Blue Dog, a neoliberal (nothing to do with liberalism).  

But when you look at the whole package, Obama's  nothing but a politician­, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word. In the 'used car salesman' sense.  It turns out that doing what's right for transnatio­nal corporatio­ns 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 Republican­, "What's good for GM is good for America."  He did a snow job on everybody.
