    I think Mr. Maher is quite possibly the smartest man on television. Obama was NEVER far left, in fact he's very centrist IMO (especially if you put him on say, Canada's political spectrum).

    You do realize he was joking and Obama is far from the far left he's is right down the middle a centrist. Why else do you think he gained so many more votes in the last presidential election.

    You realistically think Obama is far left? He's very centrist, too centrist for me on issues like gay marriage in fact.

    Even though I didn't vote for him this came from Professor Cornel West of Princton formally of Harvard University....

    Here's the link where you can look, listen or read.... http://www.democracynow.org/2008/11/19/ ... lection_of
    AMY GOODMAN: Professor Cornel West, you were a big supporter of Barack Obama, but you also have been giving speeches about holding him to account. What are the issues you are most concerned about right now?


    CORNEL WEST: Well, I think, as a deep Democrat, I recognize I have some significant differences with Brother Barack. He’s a liberal. It looked like he wants to govern as a liberal-centrist, given the choices of Emanuel—Rahm Emanuel and others. And one has to be honest and candid in terms of one’s criticism, because in the end, it’s not about Barack Obama, it’s about empowering working people and poor people. It’s about trying to accent the dignity of those Sly Stone called “everyday people.” And when he moves in that direction, it’s good. When he doesn’t move in that direction, we need to criticize him. Same is true in terms of foreign policy: Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. We have to be honest about it.


    For me, my criticism of Barack has to do with trying to acknowledge the degree to which, one, thank God we’re at the end of the age of Ronald Reagan, we’re at the end of the era of conservatism, we’re coming to the end of the epoch of the Southern Strategy. For the first time now, we’ve got some democratic possibilities. This has been a political ice age, and the melting is just beginning. And Barack Obama is a symbol, but we’ve got to move from symbol to substance. We’ve got to move from what he represents in a broad sense—and it’s a beautiful thing to have a black man in the White House, we know that, and black slaves and laborers and other white immigrants built the White House. And to have a black family there, significant; black face for the American empire, fine. Can we revitalize democratic possibilities on the ground with Barack in the White House? I think we can. We can put some serious pressure on him, and we can actually continue the democratic awakening among working people and poor people and push Barack in a progressive direction.


    Cornel West, Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University. He is the author of the books, Race Matters and Democracy Matters. His latest is just out. It’s called Hope on a Tightrope: Words and Wisdom.

    I disagree with Bill's plea for Obama to be as headstrong as Bush. There are 3 branches of government for a reason-- it was put in place so that the rule of law would be respected, and so that the Congress, who represent the people and the president could work together to solve our problems. Other than that, I agree with most of what he's saying in this video.
