"He is just not in a box. (McCain actually is.) I had to do what I knew needed doing a long time ago -- realize that "left" and "right", "liberal" and "conservative" have very little coherent meaning any more. They are lazy slogans that usually appeal to fairly reflexive responses."
Hear, hear!
I was lukewarm on Obama for a long time as well, not considering him leftwing enough. Eventually I was won over for a variety of reasons, among them precisely this point: he's beyond boxes!
So cogent a point.
He's not left or right or liberal or conservative, but I'll tell you what he is: he's a leader, he has a fierce learning curve, he has vision.
The real question, as someone around here said once, is whether this country deserves him.
As to Clinton, yes, I loathe her too. Couldn't in good conscience vote for her.
