Duh...

I keep reading people talking about how, in the wake of his crushing election defeat, Obama has made the shocking decision to tack left. 

In what world is this shocking?

Obama is a flaming liberal. He's always been a flaming liberal. How is it surprising that now that he has faced his last election, he no longer feels the need to deceive moderates into voting for him?

(Yes, I realize that Obama's name wasn't on any ballot in this election. But as he said himself, this election was about him and his policies.)

Also, the overwhelming proof of Obama's extreme liberal views has been readily available to anyone who cared to look since long before he ran for president. Anyone who is surprised by how liberal he is is clueless ... willfully or otherwise.
