Just because you’re tired of hearing it doesn’t make it not true.

On many things, such as defense and foreign policy, President Obama is more old-school Republican than today’s Republican pretenders-to-the-throne; that’s why the comparison to Ike, so it’s not a slight in my eyes. On other things, like healthcare and gun control, he’s solidly center or left-of-center.

IOW, President Obama’s pretty much straight down the middle, overall.

Democratic presidents willing to get involved in conflicts: Obama, Clinton, Johnson, Kennedy, FDR, Truman, Wilson. And those are off the top of my head.
