ABSTRACT

A large number of radical voices have tried to warn other lefties and serious liberals off the "Obama Kool-Aid" since at least 2005. The own voluminous warnings from the left on and against the Obama phenomenon date from late July 2004 just two days after Obama's pivotal, career-making keynote address to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Obama naturally failed to mention in inaugural address, most Americans believed that quality health care should be provided for free to all on an equal basis by the government. Obama declared opposition to left and independent development in Latin America, an opposition that bore fruit in Obama policy regarding that region-in the foreign policy chapter of The Audacity of Hope. Obama's presidential record matches the record setting corporate campaign funding he garnered during the presidential race. Obama returned home from the Copenhagen climate meetings of December 2009 with no binding global climate control regulations.
