I think the reality of Obama’s agenda is farther left than we’ve seen in a very long time.
For all of Bill Clinton’s problems, I don’t think he was a true believer in much of anything. He could just as easily have acted Republican. The only reason he was a democrat, IMO, is that Arkansas was essentially a one party state and that was his path to power. If his path to power was in the GOP, he would have belted out that song as well. Of course, the personal issues would have derailed his career a lot earlier in the GOP...but aside from that aspect, I don’t think Bill Clinton really has true believer opinions on much of anything.
The unkindest thing I can say about Senator Obama is that any human being who could vote against giving medical assistance to children who survive abortion attempts and allow them to gasp out their last in a bedpan in a broom closet just doesn't have what it takes to be my president.
To me, that no vote relegates all other positions he may have to date irrelevant. I say that with all the civility I can muster, and it is not predicated on any other factor than his character.
