One sign is he is going hard left is his plans to rescind Bush signed executive orders
My suspicion is that he is doing two things here: 1.) testing the waters like my daughter tests me to see how far she can push before I push back and 2.) throwing some red meat to the hard left like moveon.org who got him elected.

Now this bothers me. Apparently the meeting with President Bush didn't go well and involved hand sanitizer. Here is the story from Foxnews

and it reminded me of a Demotivator Lesson from Despair.com.
http://www.despair.com/disconfirmation.html . I doubt the truth of the hand sanitizer story but the fact it came out at all shows the pettiness of Obama. It isn't enough for him to win, his enemies must be destroyed. Also it shows a fundamental weakness of the left. The Republicans have problems uniting their three factions : social conservatives, economic conservatives, and military hawks. The Democrats are comprised of disaffected groups who only share a status of victimhood and an intense hatred of Bush. Many on the right were driven insane by Clinton. The same can be said of Bush and the left but even more so.
