Obama's perception vs. reality

“The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact.”

- Barack Hussein

“His record is liberal, and his rhetoric is moderate.”

- Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, referring to Obama

“How you come across is more important than how you vote. If voters perceive you as moderate, then your voting record isn’t terribly relevant. Perception is more important than reality.”

- Charlie Cook, editor of the Cook Political Report
