Judge rips Obama’s right-wing Plan B stance "You're disadvantaging young people, African-Americans,

[Dragonfli]

18. I find his stance on this especially puzzling

I often speak of my intense dislike of "new Democrats", I even like to call them 3rd way Republicans because as Obama freely admits, their economic policies are in line with moderate Republican's of the 80's (I would peg them as Moderate 90's Repugs but...).

All that being said, even hard core third way Heritage Foundation believers can usually be relied upon to agree with liberal social policies. Their only link left to the Democratic party is their agreement to further sane progressive social progress that will not harm the bottom lines of their corporate masters

I find this unusual because he is very much a third way Democrat, but his stance on this is not third way, I would expect laws that favor corporate profits above workers, but not this, this is not a third way view at all, it is social conservatism, not even the DLC think tanks would advocate this.
