Wrong. As is so much else that is said in Washington. I love your posts, Rotwang, but I feel you are jumping the gun here. There is zero chance that the Obama Administration will be Clinton2 simply because the historical circumstances are utterly different. I feel Obama has a clear vision of where he wants to go and that what we have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg. We may agree or disagree with what ultimately emerges. But I can guarantee that, if it turns out we don't like his policies, it won't be because this brilliant, strong-willed but perhaps ultimately not-so-liberal man has been hijacked by the Clintonistas. And don't forget. Roosevelt ran as, and remained, a balanced-budget fiscal conservative. His genius was his willingness to enact policies that went against his own grain in the hopes that so-called "radical" measures would enable the country to leave the economic wildnerness.
