Will Obama be the most liberal president ever?

After Barack Obama unveiled his staggering $3.5tn budget today, Republicans expressed outrage at the scale of the spending and tax increases.

The massive proposal is raising fears among Republicans that Obama could turn out to be one of the most liberal presidents ever after being in office for just over a month. Do you agree? Will Obama go down as the most liberal president in US history?

I agree they are worried. Wouldn't be a bad thing if he was.

Most remaining Repubs can't even define "liberal" correctly (same with "socialist," "terrorist," "fascist"), so no.

I wish but I don't think Obama is or will be. Isn't he just cleaning up the mess from previous admin?
