Bob and BWS are both admited socialist... so thats what you can call left of far left!

I dont think Obama is a Socialist, but he is far left Democrat IMO. He's no blue dog.

if you asked obama, even he probably couldn't tell you whether he's left, far left, or more to the middle. i do know for every left leaning thing he says, he follows it up with a middle move to appeal to voters towards that end of the spectrum.
for example, he says DADT will be gone, that he wants it gone, but then he shows a right leaning bent by actually listening to a general and following his advice. that's certainly not a far left move. imo, he's just trying to stay above water with every segment of voters (after all, even if he's not far enough left, will any leftist NOT vote for him next time 'round?!) so that he can be re-elected.
