| Obama probably wouldn’t make the worst president but I can’t see myself voting for him. He seems way too smart to actually do what he promises he will do. Kind of like what Bill did, Bill promised liberal policies but signed off on budgets and the relatively conservative fiscal polices of the Republican congress. Worked a charm; Bill proposed liberal ideas such as gays in the military and nationalized health care, but never bothered to actually implement the policies. Instead he rode the wave of the business cycle and the somewhat restrained spending of a conservative congress. I suspect Obama would be somewhat of the same mold. Promise liberal policies, throw a few bones to the far left, but basically not make any major changes in American economic or foreign policies.
We could do worse. |
