“Rock Star” Obama A Liberal by Record

The hoopla over Barack Hussein Obama as a presidential candidate is almost deafening if you tune on television news. What’s the fuss? Leadership and experience should be the top two qualifications to become U.S. President. There are alot of other categories I could fill in but Obama wouldn’t fit any of them.

Voting record certainly replaces labels such as “centrist” or “moderate.” Chris Dodd (D-CN) was asked about Obama on FoxNews Sunday and seemed caught off guard. Most politicians on both sides of the aisle have a “cautious” response. Is Obama “hands off” because he’s a minority? Is Obama “hands off” because some believe he is a force to reckon with?

Let’s have a look at the Obama track record so far:
