Michael Savage, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin all seem to hate Obama's guts, and Howard Stern disapproves as well. I haven't been able to really form my own opinion about Obama before, but after listening to not only the news but also both conservative and liberal media commentary, I really dislike what Obama's doing at present. In the past, I thought that Mitt Romney was just some kind of idiot who's only been successful so far because of his charisma, but after listening to commentary on radio shows instead of just watching and reading news on tv and in the paper, I'm leaning towards Romney.

...But hey, I can't even vote. I'm just a Korean guy in Melbourne who's an Australian citizen. :p


And thank God for that.

the problem is, his policies are factually better than the viable alternatives, in an absolutely objective and quantifiable way. even for the alleged values of conservatives.*

* their actual values, obviously not so much. but if we went with what they pretend to give a shit about, obama is clearly their guy

By most sane standards, I'd say we're actually more centrist than your average political discussion forum.

Least right winger. Stewart Alexander is the only true leftist and he has no chance of winning.

At least he says he's a Democrat, giving us the faint hope that a Democratic legislature will emerge and he'll pass a bunch of pro-left-wing-opinion laws without having to shamelessly compromise and meet the conseratives on their side of the political scale.

Anywhere outside of America he'd be considered center/center-right.

We have a very skewed political system. It's why I, a centrist, can be called a crazy left-winger in sociology class.
