I am finding that Obama is a bit of a blank slate. People are looking at him and see waht they want to see. I would not be supporting him if he was nearly as "liberal" as the lazy media and some of his supporters seem to think that he is. I want pragmatism in a president. Obama is very pragmatic.


I don't find him to be progressive at all. He talks about change. But pragmatic change. He is not against fighting wars. He is against doing do badly. He is for investing in infrastructure and eduction. he is for lower taxes for all but the top. He wants to return to a tax regime first introduced by Clinton and a congress lead by Newt Gingrich.
