When far-right bomb-thrower David Horowitz finds President Obama’s Cairo speech wunderbar, the question is now, not whether Obama is a liberal or not, but, just how much of a neoliberal can he even claim to be?
Or, is he now a closet neoconservative?
It’s clear Obama is lightly and proudly wearing the mantle of “presidentialism.” As Horowitz notes, Obama not only did NOT repudiate Bush’s invasion of Iraq, he all but embraced the neocon regime change reasoning behind it.
In the new world, given Hillary Clinton’s intransigence at the recent OAS meeting, if I’m Raul or Fidel Castro, I walk very lightly, hearing Obama so openly embrace regime change.
