Far Left Barry sees himself as “not a particularly ideological person”

President Barack Obama, on a fundraising swing in Seattle on Sunday, described himself as “not a particularly ideological person” despite ongoing political clashes with Republicans over healthcare, the economy, and immigration reform.

When our dear leader was in the Senate, he was THE MOST LIBERAL Senator. 
He voted more liberal than self proclaimed Socialist, Bernie Sanders.
