@okie,
To explain further for those individuals here that don't get it yet, what Obama is at heart does not equal what the United States policies are now, nor are they equal to all of what Obama is currently pushing. What Obama is doing now is only a portion or beginning of the total package that he wants. Folks, to understand this, you need to read Obama's writings, and study his past, the people he learned from, and the people he admires, and this will give you more clues. If anyone has believed the mantra or image of Obama built by the media to get him elected, that he is some sort of centrist, then that would explain why you are still confused about what Obama really is in terms of his political beliefs.
In short, Obama does not believe in what has made America what it is, liberty, freedom, entrepeneurship, innovation, and private business enterprises. He may say he believes in innovation and so forth, but he believes the State should do it, he has confidence in the State to bring about the changes he envisions. There should be little doubt about this for anyone that wants to be honest about this.
