He also says Obama has the record of a "leftist-Marxist".

Well this alone assures him of my vote!

I am not sure that a socialist in the Whitehouse, be it Hillary or
Obama, would be beneficial to this nation. The expansion of the failure
of Great Society, and allowing every group to claim civil rights
recognition, can only polarize this nation to a new higher level.

As for Obama being a moderate (the often claim of the major media),
consider the following:

The ADA Today

Barack Obama (Illinois) Liberal Quotent (LQ) Rating: 100 (out of 100)
The rating of 100 is considered [perfect].

From the ADA newsletter:

" Liberal Quotient (LQ) is the rating of a Member of Congress
determined by the percentage of votes cast in support of
liberal policies, measured against the number of votes
counted. The votes selected cover the full spectrum of
domestic, foreign, economic, military, environmental and
social issues. We often chose procedural votes,
amendments, motions to table, or votes on rules for
debate. These votes can reveal true attitudes obscured
in final votes. "

And from the opposite side of the political spectrum:

The American Conservative Union gave Obama a score of 8 (also out of
100). Even Hillary managed a 12 from this organization.
