"Liberal" pundits said Obama should break a union, to show he is as tough on workers as Reagan was.

This illustrates how the mainstream media often presents a spectrum of views stretching from extreme right wing to not-so-extreme right wing, and calls the latter "Liberal". The views of most Americans, on many scales, are much more Liberal than that whole spectrum.

What we need is a president who is tough against the powerful that are doing tremendous harm, such as the banksters, Big Pharma, the copyright lobby, and fossil fuel companies.
