I don't really understand the the question but from where I sit (when I am political I am left leaning on the social side of things although I don't think I'd make a "liberal" reading of the bible" - I'm caught in the middle somewhere...) and in the UK, I've actually felt Obama to be a good president, perhaps not everything I'd hoped but certainly a contrast from Bush from an outside the US viewpoint.
I do actually agree with LS though. It's all to easy to colour God with our own political beliefs, patriotisms, etc. I know that I for one can do it...

You may have noted that Obama's policies are exactly the same as Bush's, they may as well be twins.
The reason why some might find it outrageous may be due to his push for war, taxes, support for gay marriage, etc. But the line of war vs. unjust war continues to be debated as does the subject of taxation. But one subject which is overwhelmingly visible is his push for abortion. Sadly, I've met many Christians who believe abortion is the right and moral thing to do and that the Scriptures even support it.
Just for (I hope) clarity. I find abortion complicated but life starts at conception, I don't accept there is this "thing" stage. I also believe that life is a gift that few of us (if any?) truely understand - it's more that just robotics and animation. I do have doubts (eg if the mother would die) but I (I hope) in no way consider a baby a "disposable throw away without concern object". Personally, I feel I can argue that from a generally "helping the poor" perspective but, yes, when we get into politics, people's mileages do seem to vary...

Yes and no. It's seems Obama's healthcare things did ruffle a few feathers??? That said, if you are asking whether there is any government that is not ultimately serving higher paymasters, I'd say I feel the same thing in the UK. Sadly, while I think there are exceptions, politics in general has a smell of corruption around it - is that what you mean?
We have the president the Lord wants us to have. I do not pardon or extol either man, I just know one thing for absolute certainty: I would never be dumb enough to run for the White House. Anyone that wants that kind of torture needs help... and tons of prayer.

In part, just about every leader we've had in the 100 years has been rotten to the core. Even Kennedy was hardly a choir boy, but he got killed for trying to straighten things out.
Both Bush and Obama serve the multinational corporations. They get their jollies killing brown people on the far side of the world while funding the guys that shoot back at our troops. Judgement day is going to be really ugly for a lot of these "politicians".
OK thanks. One thing I'm really curious about is what you feel JFK might have done I know of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby but my US history (and even my own UK history) is not that good.
UK wise btw, I often felt John Smith would have been the best politician we never had as PM. He died of a heart attack and was buried in Iona.
JFK intended to disband the CIA and was not fond of the Federal Reserve either. Either one of those would have made him hundreds of very poweful enemies.
