I'm not seeing any signs that Barry O'Bama's administration is much different from Clinton's, his healthcare reform was quite conservative (I mean, the damned thing was basically designed by the Heritage Foundation, yo!), DADT could very well have been repealed by Eisenhower (who, recall, deployed the 101st Airborne to enforce desegregation at Little Rock High), and his financial system reform stops far short of re-instating the FDR-era regulatory environment... it is, daresay, conservative. <br /><br />But as JZB sez, the Republicans have gone batshit insane recently, trying to push a radical agenda that's anything *but* conservative.
