Six Photos That Prove Obama Is Conservative

President Barack Obama has been called a lot of things, but "conservative" isn't one of them. According to a new political-personality quiz over at Time, however, Obama may not be as liberal as he seems. The quiz claims that your lifestyle preferences predicts your politics, and that liberals have messy desks, prefer documentaries to action movies, use "modern" Web browsers, enjoy fusion cuisine, like cats more than dogs, and believe that self-expression is more important than self-control. We took the liberty of taking the quiz for Obama, and discovered that he's conservative in these six ways:

He Has a Clean Desk
