Democratic party played by Obama?

So are there any liberals on the board who would honestly admit that Obama has played the democratic party, pushing them so far left that they can't even see the center anymore? Just 20 years ago, the majority of the democratic party leaders would NEVER had stood for some of the crap that Obama has pulled in the last 5 years. (See for example Harry Reid's conservative position on illegal immigration long before he started to look like Granny Clampett).

Obama is Bill Clinton redux, not very left at all.

He passed healthcare reform without single payer or even a public option that the left wanted, we're still in Afghanistan, Guantanamo is still open, he's dragged his feet on climate change until now, and he's deported over 2 million illegal immigrants. He's not far left unless you're observing from the far right.

I don't think the Democratic Party got played but the Independents and anti-Romney Republicans that voted for Obama sure did. Here was a new face, which happened to be black, of politics that spoke a good game and promised with conviction there was a new vision of hope and change.
IMO, he has failed miserably as a whole for the nation but has been a Godsend for those with social agendas which is not always good for the nation as a whole.

You are delusional. W added Medicare prescription benefits.
Not thinking evolution is false doesn't make him super liberal. He is more centrist than you want to admit.

Obama didn't push the democrat party to the left they already were that way.
The democrat party is not a reflection of Obama, Obama is a reflection of the democrat party.

If Obama were far left he wouldnt have had guys like Larry Summers and Tim Geitner in his administration.
If he were far left a lot of Wall Street types would be in prison this afternonn and not at the country club.
