Obama: 'In Europe, I'd Probably Be Considered Right in the Middle, Maybe Center-Left, Maybe Center-Right'
...it's delusional at the top....
In Europe he would most definitely have been a community organizer for the Social Democrats, just because there's more power there than in the Communists or the Greens. Same reason he's a member of the Democratic Party here instead of the Communists or the Greens. But in Europe they never would have let him be prime minister, though they might have let him be president in one of the royalty-free states. Something to ponder, that is.

#1  If you have to explain these things about yourself...

#2  I wish he was in Europe...

#3  Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is quite ugly.

#4  Center left? I'll buy that. Of course he is positioning himself in relation to people who think National Socialism is a right-wing ideology.

#5  This is boilerplate for the NPR-listening left.

On a scale of 1-10, arbitrarily redfine the center as being 3 rather than 5 That way you can tell yourself and anyone else who cares that your position at 2 is only slightly left of center and that someone who is in the middle at 5 is a far right extremist. Framing the issue Alinsky/Lakoff style.

I actually had a former friend tell me that Rush Limbaugh was much, much farther from the center of American politics in his direction than NPR was in its direction. Delusional bubble thinking.

It's people like that, along with union and public sector thugs, who are running the government right now.

#6  He seems to be the most self obsessed POTUS I can remember.

#7  George Carlin said: "By definition, half the population is below average intelligence." Why should the below-average-intelligence cohort be expected to accurately identify where they are on the spectrum, including politically?

#8  Who gives a rat's ass what he would be in EUrope? It's what he is in the US that matters. Leave it to a delusional American leftist to define things in EUropean terms.

#9  In Europe he would still be considered a thin-skinned, incompetent clown.

#10  Must have made more sense in its original Austrian.

#11  In Europe they would have called a vote and gotten rid of him. No matter what he labelled himself.

#12  The economies of europe are mostly fubared.

Some areas look like Detroit in the sun.

#13  You vote present often enough and you can claim any position that suits you at any moment.
