None of the above. He is simply just another statist tool, who, like PJ O'Rourke's description of the Clinton White House - thinks things can be "fixed" through command and control from inside the beltway. Sad thing is, his major opponents think the same way, just that they ought to be the ones with their hands on the levers of power.
He's clearly been the best president we have had in decades. The problem is the Republican Party has gone to hell in a handbag. The worst America has to offer has gravitated toward that one political party. They show no leadership. They have no ideas. Freedom to them means bleeding America dry and squatting on the middle class. The Republicans base applauds getting screwed by their own leadership. A huge part of the Republican party are old people who depend on Medicare, Medicaid and SS. Yet, their leadership wants to do away with, get this, "Medicare, Medicaid and SS". And these people applaud it. Are they crazy? Perhaps. Probably they just hate the fact that a black man is in the "WHITE" House. They can't see that they vote against their own self interests. Their hatred is being used against them. All they can see is "bringing down Obama". They can't see the damage. But they will. The Republican leadership will make sure of it.
Try and focus on the topic.... which is not the failing of the Republican Party. It is why Obama is a bad POTUS. You're a funny boy, rdrool. Stupid as mud but funny.
