The American public, by and large, is not ideological. Obama was elected president last year in spite of his record as a very liberal community organizer and senator, not because of it. Americans were weary of Bush, whom the liberal media loved to blame for everything, and the Republicans, and attracted by a charismatic, articulate, candidate who could speak a few good words (Hope ... Change), presented himself as a moderate, and offered redemption for the country's racist past.
But, once president, Obama revealed his true colors, surrounded himself with questionable people (such as the Green Jobs Czar Van Jones) and let the radical wing of the Democratic Party write bills that tilt the country towards socialism and ever growing government control (and national debt). On the international scene, he kowtows to the worst enemies of the US.
Domestically, Obama believes that he has a mandate to implement radical change, or has cynically decided that he has a unique opportunity to implement policies that would never have a chance under normal circumstances in the United States (never let a good crisis go to waste ...)
Internationally, he is naive and believes that extending a friendly hand will mollify dictators pursuing evil ends or bent on strengthening their positions by weakening the US.
These are strategic mistakes of huge proportions. He and the Democratic Party will pay dearly for it. Hopefully before the United States is damaged beyond repair.
