What do you expect from President Obama on the following scale:

[undeterred]

Where on the scale do you expect him to govern. with (1) Left as Dennis Kucinich, (10) Right as the Democratic Leadership Council.

[RoccoR5955]

1. Obama is too middle of the road.

He will have his feet held to the fire from me!
Kucinich/Sanders '12 or '16!

[MadBadger]

2. Is that for Governor of Vermont?

[RoccoR5955]

10. No, for President!

If we had a REAL left-wing in this country, Kucinich and Sanders would be considered the middle!

[HopeFor2006]

3. Time will tell

But I have heard few women mentioned as possible appointees.

4. Janet Napolitano is considered a likely candidate for Atty Gen

If Obama forgets, I hope Michelle will remind him.

5. My litmus test is

Iraq and Afghanistan. Out NOW. No excuses, no delays. As long as we stay in Bush's sinkholes, we are squandering money we don't have. The money we have squandered in Iraq alone could have turned our own auto industry green, could have repaired our own infrastructure, could have improved our own health care, etc. I'll be patient about a lot of things, but I'll not be patient about this. Out NOW.

8. Iraq and Afghanistan are totally different situations.

[PermanentRevolution]

9. Well, if that's your litmus test then he's already failed it

Obama has said repeatedly, through the entire campaign, that he opposes an immediate withdrawal from Iraq and in fact supports an increase of troops in Afghanistan. I doubt he's changing his stance on that now.

[IndianaGreen]

6. Obama is a centrist. The DLC are neocons and neoliberals.

I rated it a 5.

[TragedyandHope]

7. We'll be lucky if he can run a productive and effective administration

...one or two steps left of center. (Center meaning the middle between Democrat and Republican, not the middle of your poll.)

11. Either end of that spectrum will be MUCH better than Bush and the repugs.

I'm just so happy we won!! :D
