Quote:No, I would call him a liberal although not as far left as some people seem to think. I have seen some on the left that are calling him a moderate. The last course I took in Political Science demonstrated very clearly that regardless of where a political figure starts out in their administration (and this applies, to a degree, even to hard line dictators) that they will eventually slide more to the center of the political spectrum, just to keep the general population under reasonable control....
Usually the Fanatical Extremes at either end of the spectrum never get into power for long, as they either can not garner enough votes or develop enough protective base/detail to prevent a violent overthrow...
It's those that enter the political arena a little, or lot, off center in either direction, that come into power and then start to move to center based on their desire to keep power and work to please the populace...Even though they may be lining their own pockets in the process...
