Douthat thinks Obama is a liberal

Ross Douthat wonders why so many liberals are aggrieved at Obama as a president who seems adrift, etc.

Maybe we're aggrieved at just how illiberal he is. He's just like Bush in the "War on Terror" and civil liberties, if not worse, for example. Maybe we loathe the soon-to-depart chief of staff, Rahmbo, as a man of even fewer ideals than his boss.

Oh, and Ruos? The health care bill isn't universal, has holes in it, is subject to revision, and involved massive bribery to Big Pharma and other folks.

There's idiocy by saying dumb things, or there's idiocy of not thinking in the first place. Ross, that's you, this time.
