I don't understand it.

Obama is not even remotely a liberal. His agenda and that of the rest of the democrats is staunchly moderate compared to what liberal/socialism truly means.

On top of that, the democrats and the republicans are all about expanding "government" powers. They both have done a fairly great job at eliminating personal rights, increasing the size of government (mostly military and police spending). The health care budget was a drop in the bucket compared to where the rest of the cash was going.

Neither party has any of our interests in mind regardless of where you fall onto the political sphere. Issues that affect us the most are continuously being skirted away for other less important sound bite issues.
