I'm worried less about Obama being a leftist than I am about his arrogance, his lack of personal credibility and his absence of good judgment. Those are three flaws that compromise a chief executive's stature. And come to think of stature - all of what he has is media-generated and none upon closer inspection, come from his own accomplishment or experience with life. Obama is young, green and inexperienced. With all of the above, he's not ready for the most powerful office in the country. The Presidency is no place for on the job training.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Obama is young, green and inexperienced. We are very fortunate that he is "young, green and inexperienced". Otherwise, he'd be even better at conning naive and ignorant Americans into believing he actually loves our country and has its best interests at heart.
