What would happen if America ever elected a truly Liberal President?

If President Obama had run against Reagan, Reagan would have been the Liberal.

    Thank You!

    Obama has NOT been a liberal and he has NOT done anything except continue the corporate supremacy that pervades our body politic.

    Regan was an out-of-control spending, massive deficit borrowing, oligarch puppet, and Obama is just like him. I think that they would run together on the same ticket.

    But hell, there is not any real difference between Democrats and Republicans anyway. They are both puppets for the plutocracy.

    For example, BP is all about itself. They care more about their dividends to their stockholders and the public relations of their company than the damage to people, land, and sea. If Obama were a liberal, BP would have been paying for all of this yesterday. Instead he is "working with BP". BP is concerned for itself and its own profits and Obama is defending them.

    I don't think you quite understand that this president is truly a liberal. He has focused contempt for the "rich" and "big business" and openly called for sharing the wealth. Banks are now in government hands, auto manufacturers, health care,student loans(education),establishing salaries for industry, and so on. He has taken the government into the economy, into the financial markets, into real estates, education, energy production,health care, and politics. He has done this all in 1 years time with the American people voting him and the House and Senate to do it. He is again pushing Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac into mortgages for people who have no ability to own homes.....I kills me to continue. Short of electing Karl Marx, we have done a nice job electing this moderate liberal to fundamentally change America, as he has said.

  • Nope. Not even close. President Reagan never forgot to place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.

    Woodrow Wilson was a socialist. FDR was a liberal, as was Johnson. 0bama is a statist, far left liberal.

    You're high is you think Reagan would be the libby. I wish I had your stash.

    Lol, you are hilarious. You are right in one sense. Obama is to the right of Reagan. He is so far to the left , he popped out on the other side of the scale on the right edge.

    They're all real liberals. They're slowly taking pieces of our society and transforming them into behemoth government agencies.

    They know they can't take it all at one time. So they take advantage of situations and pass social security, medicare, medicaid, and now Obamacare.
