After eight years of Obama, many people still buy the stereotype that because Obama is black he must be a liberal. As this article points out, not only is he committed to spying on Americans, but he has gone further in prosecuting leaks of classified information than all previous administrations combined!
But he does have limits, such as not going after the Bush administration’s record on torture or the bankers most responsible for the crash of 2008. The right wing Republicans will be hard-pressed to find a better Republican than Obama!
