You seem to let your bias leak through here. Given the sum total of both his rhetoric and his governance to date, Obama does not stand anywhere near far-left, not even in the US. You may want to recalibrate your scales.

Supporting gay marriage and abortion rights are increasingly moderate positions, held by people who swing further left and right on a host of other issues. For example, Obama has been overwhelmingly willing to compromise with business to move other policy agendas (e.g., health care) forward—the far-left is quite unlikely to do this. There are plenty of other counterexamples to an unfounded claim that he is far-left. Drone strikes come to mind, to name but one other.

If he holds views and suggestions for policies that are actually far-left, please enlighten us.
