You're going to have to expand a whole lot more on that for me to believe it. I'm with you on the left's "wishy washy" positions that ignore obvious issues in an attempt to be mostly superior, ie Islam and the radicalism within. Where you're way off base in my opinion is where you think Obama is in any position to inform the left on where they should stand. He's a centrist president that whose role is to define the American position.
