The AP has twin news analysis pieces on how presidents McCain and Obama would govern.
I totally agree with the McCain piece. His temper and impulsiveness quotients would make him Shrub redivivus in style as well as policy.
I strongly disagree with the central theme of the Obama piece, though, that he would be a hands-off CEO in the Reagan style, albeit much better informed.
Rather, I think due to his controlling nature that he would be hands on all the way to the Jimmy Carter level in a way that might not be an unalloyed good.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
