economic policy?
expanding the welfare state, lengthening unemployement benefits. Socialized heathcare. increasing taxes on everybody, especially higher income earners. "spreading the weath around" he was a member of a communist party. increasing spending on everything, at a higher rate than anybody before him. him continually proping up business that the government seems worthy, especially of the "green" variety. most/all turning out to be economicall unsolvible.

These are all true. But he's still a conservative. Americans seem to have this very black and white view of politics. They seem to think you're either liberal or conservative, which is a load of crap. You can have some conservative values and still be liberal. You can have some liberal values, like Obama does, but still be a conservative.
The only true liberals to really run for president in the US in recent memory have been the likes of Jill Stein and Ralph Nader.

you seem to not know what the word conservative means

If Obama was the leader of any other developed country then he would be without any doubt be in a Conservative party. The Republican label that he is a liberal is to hide how similiar his policies are to the Republicans. Infact just look at the policies of Roland Regan and compare them to Obama, you'll be suprised.

what political viewpoints of his could possibly be construed as conservative. in any other part of the world he be part of a leftist party weather it be labour, communist or whatever.
i couldnt care less what the republican label of him is. most of the republican establishment are progressives. i hate progressive, i dont care what party they beling to.

If you seriously think Obama is a communist then you don't know what a communist is. David Cameron (UK PM) is to the Left of Obama, and he's part of the UK Conservative Party. I'd rather have Cameron than Obama any day.
