Yes, he has them – and when they’re good, they’re great:
Obama has made the Super Tuesday vote more about who we are than who the candidates running for president are.
It’s the community organizer in him. Only now the community he is organizing is an entire country. I do think this is an important aspect to Obama’s liberalism that provides a bridge to conservatism. He is not a traditional top-down big government liberal. He’s a pragmatist who believes in finding ways to empower people to run their own lives. No, he’s no libertarian. But his view of government’s role has absorbed some of the right-wing critiques of the 1970s and 1980s. Hence the lack of mandates in his healthcare proposal and his refusal to engage in racial victimology. This nuance is worth exploring. Unlike Hillary, he doesn’t believe he is going to save anyone. He thinks he has a chance to help some people save themselves.
