Barack Obama is a centrist Democrat. His main opposition comes from the other major political party, the Republicans. Some Republicans, who are fiscally conservative, oppose him because of his economic policies. Other Republicans, who are socially conservative, oppose him because of his support for marriage equality (gay marriage) and his belief that insurance plans should cover contraception for women. It should also be noted that Mr. Obama has some opposition in his own party, from progressive Democrats who believe he is too much of a centrist, and wish his policies were more liberal.
