Are you more liberal or less than President Obama?

My Results -

Congratulations! You're more liberal than President Obama!

You're proudly toeing the liberal line, canvas tote bag and all. You've probably been frustrated with President Obama's policies on more than one occasion, especially when he compromises with Republicans. You probably miss the Clinton years, and may have even been a Hillary supporter in '08.

You're definitely a lefty!

Your politics are considered radical by many, and sometimes you even agree with communist policies. You disagree with most of President Obama's decisions, but you may not have voted for him anyway. Someone like Ralph Nader would be a better candidate for you.

Yep, I'm more liberal than Obama. I suspect a lot of people here will get that same result.

Though I'll say Guantanamo and Tax Cuts for the wealthy weren't his fault. The first was basically "Keep it open, or you look like you decided not to fund the military for the year." The Second was "Keep tax cuts for the wealthy or you'll see the whole tax cut go away. What happened to your stimulus package then?" That was basically what Republicans did and forced the democrats, and his, hands.

Your vote is meaningless.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

"You're a moderate liberal, or maybe even an Independent. You agree with most of the decisions President Obama has made while in office, and you understand that compromise is sometimes necessary."

It's kind of hard when I fall somewhere in between two or more answers.

Kind of what I thought.

See the bold. I did say it was out of spite, you know.

Your results







Congratulations! You're more liberal than President Obama!

You're proudly toeing the liberal line, canvas tote bag and all. You've probably been frustrated with President Obama's policies on more than one occasion, especially when he compromises with Republicans. You probably miss the Clinton years, and may have even been a Hillary supporter in '08.


I'm sure if Fairtax was mentioned in the quiz, I'd move farther to the right.  A few other issues weren't mentioned that might affect my stance as well.

I'm not sure how to feel about this.  The phrase "liberal line, canvas tote bag and all" kind of annoys me, but alas.

I think it was intended to be more teasing than accusing.

I am a lefty too.

But the quiz is deeply flawed. Many times the choices presented are insufficient and sometimes none is close to what I thought should be done.

Ummm...I really didn't like some of the answers. Too vague.

As I'm taking the quiz, all I can think of is that they need to hire a better quiz-maker.  Too many answers have too many things attached to them.

#10 is absolutely awful.  Every answer is loaded with something I disagree with.  Everything involves cutting "entitlement" or getting rid of our defense budget, or cutting payroll taxes.  I support less military funding, but having a military is necessary.

#21, none of the answers are in any way good in my opinion.  Oh well, best to pick the one that feels most... realistic.
