Is Obama right or left wing?

"Invade the world, Invite the World"

Most mainstream US politicians of recent history tend to push a foreign policy of "invade the world" and a domestic policy of "invite the world" Although the messy particulars do vary.

Personally, I don't think its as easy to assign political labels to people, especially someone who is governing a global power like the US which is a sort of mixed system that doesn't always know what it is anymore (or is something that represents very different things to different people). I myself have Nationalist tendencies, Identitarian tendencies, Right-Libertarian tendencies, Paleo-Conservative tendencies, Alternative-Right tendencies, Reactionary tendencies, Contrarian tendencies, Populist tendencies, Antiquity-phile tendencies... whatever the situation calls for.

I was never one of those on the right who thought Obama was the root of all that I believe is wrong with our country. Most of the significant problems that I feel we face were, if not implemented before Obama was even born, were implemented long before he ever got power. I once heard Farrakhan say Obama wasn't elected he was selected. The new reality of our country was set in motion and Obama was seen as the new face of the changing America, the man to form the new majority and transform the nation into what the wheels in motion dictated the US should/would now become.

From what I've seen from Obama he has Left-Progressive tendencies, Fabian Socialist tendencies, Neo-Conservative Tendencies, Corporatist tendencies, Universalist tendencies, Liberal-Secular tendencies, Modernist tendencies, Cosmopolitan tendencies, Institutionalist tendencies, I do believe he does have some cultural marxist and Anarcho-Tyranny tendencies (that's part of what creating the new majority is all about), and yes he has stuck to the "Invade the world, Invite the World" doctrine... whatever the situation calls for. So in some cases he veers left in the scheme of our system, in some cases he is in the center with regard to our system, and in some cases he has pursued policies that have been proposed or supported by supposed center-rightists. As I said, the messy particulars do vary.

Center Right by Western Euro standards.
 
On social views, he is liberal.

On military-industrial complex issues, he is neocon.
