Obama is a radical leftist when he's a civilian, a congressman and during the democratic primaries, and a partisan democrat bad person when he's acting the part of president. He's probably a radical leftist behind closed doors and he'll be a radical leftist when his pathetic presidency is over.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are batshit crazy and the democrats elected them leaders of the party. So to say the democrats are not beholden to leftist wackos is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
