First off he is a demonrat, and he is far from being a conservative. He is to the left of Gov Chrispy Cream NJ or Mutt Romney.
I am just curious if you think he's a democrat because he is black and was born in Detroit? I bet his mother is a republican and has always been. She never accepted Welfare and food stamps, but instead worked 2-3 jobs every day, just so she could provide for her 2 sons
He is probably more conservative the you are
