35. Anyone who read Obama's books before the election, knew where
he stood. He wrote enough in his books to show that he was an economic globalist, with all that entails, and that Joe Lieberman was one of his mentors, and that elections being stolen had to do with "conspiracy theorists". He's VERY "conservative", for a "democrat", in the lingo of today's political atmosphere.

I think Barack Obama, himself, is an exceptional human being....probably the brightest man who has been elected president in many generations....maybe ever. He is honest to his values, he's consistent. As a person, and as a president, I respect him tremendously. Some of his values are liberal. By far MOST of his values are conservative. He is miles and miles to the right of where I wish he was politically. Most of his decisions I find abhorrent, and supportive of the corporatist state. (The war in Afghanistan, the choice of Gates and Rahm Emmanuel, the decision NOT to support Seligman, but to support the bush crime family...there are many others I disagree with vehemently. )
