So where does Obama sit on the political spectrum?

A far left socialist, obviously.

depends where, in the US , Id imagine he would be centre left , in Europe he would be a liberal , or even centre right in some countries.

Somewhere between Zionist puppet and Zionist lackey.

Looks far right to me

I'd say exaggerate that a little bit.

In Europe, if one's not opposed to death penalty, the political spectrum is far right. (UK is not a particularly liberal country, but BNP really is the only one endorsing death penalty). If one does not openly endorse Universal health care, then I don't even know what they call them. Obama fits both, so...

Center-right, center-authoritarian.ghoklebutter

Supports predominantly private ownership over means of production w/ a limited amount of publicly provided social welfare. Center-right, like most U.S. politicians.

Relative to the U.S. political spectrum, preaches center-left, governs center.

I don't see why so many conservatives call him a socialist.Jebus213

On a global scale, center-right/moderate with influences from the left.

Agreed with this but he's also a socialist.

This is probably the most useless term I've ever seen WRT political ideology. I supposed that it could be be used to describe AnCaps?

I know, I nearly fainted.

The same description could apply to Romney if you look at his career as a whole. Lately he's been trying to fit in the crazy evangelical right, which is make him seem two-faced at times.

Obama has to cater to the far-left too, which provides the same kind of problem, though that's less obvious, I'm sure.
