Barack Obama

But yeah, I always hate when supposed-progressives try to paint him as a Republican in sheep's clothing or someone who is further to the Right than he actually is. They probably aren't aware of this, but they're basically dismissing and minimizing the impact of all of his accomplishments. Obama's "progressive" critics never seem to have much to say about things such as health care reform, or the Fair Pay Act, or the auto bailout, or him being the 1st sitting president to endorse gay rights. Do they honestly think that the typical Republican would support these policies? They've even voted 37 times for a full or partial repeal of Obamacare! It's because of Republicans that we still cannot achieve single-payer, when so many other countries have it and are doing fine with it.
