I don't think Obama was "far left". I do think he drew heavy support from them and definitely pandered to them. It's not unlike many right wing politicians. Very few mainstream politicians are "far" anything. Many do pander to voting bases with those positions to get elected though.
For the record, I was a very big supporter of Obama, and went to see him speak live, prior to his election.
