The guy is a nutcase, and worked for Mondale.

Noah Millman observes that by most measures, Barack Obama is a conservative. Excerpt: **In the core areas of policy, the goal of the Obama Administration has been the preservation of the status quo, and where the Obama Administration has sought to move longstanding Democratic priorities, it has generally done so with an eye to minimally disturbing existing economic and political arrangements.**
I think this is basically right, and this is why I have such a difficult time getting worked up about Obama. A conservative friend said to me the other day that if Obama was re-elected, “we might lose America.” He was totally serious. I don’t get this at all. I would much rather have Obama running US foreign policy than Mitt Romney. On the economy, with regard to the outsize power of the banks, Obama has been too Republican.””
Tell you what, ansel12. I think you should investigate select FReepers and see where they were at at age 17, provided it was 30 more more years ago. What fun you could have, identifying nutcase liberals.
Have a nice--- or at least, a busy --- day.
