Over there, he at least is not as rabidly right wing as the frankly insane republicans.
There is not a potential republican candidate I would trust with scissors let alone a nuclear arsenal.
Obama would make a perfect conservative in Europe. At least in some countries. The only difference being, our politcal systems, at least for the most part, aren't two party systems and they aren't majority based in the sense of the winner taking it all. So our conservatives have to enter coalitions and have to seek the consent of at least one other party in the government.
Ours is basically a two party winner take all system. This is the first coalition for decades and by selling their souls to the tories the Lib Dems have soiled their brand and are losing deposits on all elections. They are now irrelevant after being the phantom "third Party" for years.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
