Barack Obama (D-Rezko) has been trying to paint himself as the one who can unite this country, and he even claimed at the debate last night that he’d bring in advisors and such that aren’t just “yes men.” He claims he’s open to differing opinions and claims he knows he’s not always correct. It’s his way of appealing to independents and moderates.
But his record shows that he would be the furthest thing from mainstream. According to the National Journal, Obama was the most liberal senator in 2007. For the record, Hillary Clinton (D-Hsu) ranked the 16th most liberal senator.
It’s funny too, because so many on the left are regurgitating the ridiculous idea that Barack is more moderate. They don’t really believe it, they are just trying to convince independents and moderates that Barack Obama is some uniting figure who will bring Republicans and Democrats together. Christopher Hayes, writing at The Nation, is doing the same thing, by writing, “[Obama’s] record places him squarely in the middle of Democratic senators.” Yeah, nice try.
