Obama just publicly stated that he holds the position of a 1980's moderate Republican, in a response to claims of him being a socialist.

Once again, Obama is telling us something everyone already knows. That we discussed in this thread recently; that Progressives really don't have a voice in America. That the option of a voter is between Moderate Conservative party and a batshit insane Far Fright party. The Left isn't voting Obama because he is progressive, but that the GOP is downright frightening.
It is a surprise that Obama admitted it. But it IS true. Guess he decided that truth might be what we need in this world these days, even though those on the Left are powerless to do anything about it.
