486. OK. You said in #438 "he's more of a neoliberal than HRC ever was,"

and that DU had "became more and more centrist" after Obama was elected. That was about the only substantial point I could divine, and since you didn't offer any specifics, I addressed it using an issue I personally value highly: shrinking the US military footprint, or less euphemistically, getting out of the global shakedown business.

Now in your second post post I see you have in mind mainly domestic issues, and I gather you feel that Obama has a more neoliberal economic policy than you'd like, i.e one more inclined toward free trade, open markets, and globalism generally. Fine, but what makes you think HRC or anyone else would be any better? Judging by the Bill Clinton presidency I'd expect HRC to be exactly as neoliberal as Obama, if not more. If you have some metric you're using to compare them let me know, but domestically I think we're doing as well as we could hope -- better than in Bill's day when you consider ACA, and economic indicators are surging, so I expect the Obama recovery to soon make itself felt by all.

That leaves foreign policy, and in that realm Obama is measurably distinguishable from HRC, or "to the left" of her if that makes you feel better, as I discussed just above. This being the case, I'm not sure what everyone is so exercised about.
