Speaking of the most liberal senator in the USA ...

As we all probably know Obama has been rated as the most liberal in the Senate. However, we have in the Senate one who really should be more 'liberal' in terms of what the left considers 'social programs', 'social justice', and government right to tell you and I what is right (e.g. compulsory).

Bernie Sanders, the self avowed socialist ex-mayor of Burlington, Vermont, elected as an independent 'progressive', too left to be a democrat?

What does it mean that Obama is to his left?

MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon in the United States.

"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change," the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.

Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to office last year via the ballot box.

In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega said he has "faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations."
