Oh,I wouldn't say that.
Unless you think he should be slightly further to the right?

I'd have never put myself as left wing.

I'd have never put mysef as right wing.

But they're telling me that i'm as left as you get.

Rather significantly further to the left.

I'm going to do my best not to get in an argument here, but based on several things. For starters my position on this board compared to him, as I know for a fact I fall to right of him. Secondly, as a highly engaged American citizen I can inform you that our President is of the school of the European social welfare state, which alone should put him somewhere to the left of center. His stances on centralized bureaucratic government, his wonderfully inept healthcare bill, to forcing green energy down the throats of americans. I'd go on further, but I'm supposed to be working...

Don't take this as a dig at you, but as something I've generally come to understand from reading these boards... I think there is a generally wide misunderstanding of American politics. I would not pretend to know the first thing about anything that happens in England, although I was taught about. I would equally not expect for everyone on here to know about what happens in the USA, but there are far too many people who either pretend to know, or are just wildly misinformed.
