Someday they really are gonna have to deal with a left-leaning President. Can't even imagine the reaction then. Oh who am I kidding, we'll never elect an actual liberal President.
You're confusing liberal and left, or even left-leaning. I think Paul Jay's definition of liberal describes Obama extremely well, and it describes hid signature achievement, Obamacare, to a t:
"Would you define liberalism as we'll do what we can for the poor within a framework of modern capitalism, but I'm not going to question the framework of how things are owned and who has power, 'cause I'm not going to go there, either 'cause of my interests, my beliefs, or whatever?"
Pssst ... please don't tell the liberals, they are already very confused.

I'd say the two Democrats we've elected president since I've been old enough to vote turned out to be perfect liberals.
