Ο David Boaz περί Obama - από το ‘The Libertarian Voter‘:

Mr. Obama offers virtually the opposite profile. He’s been against the war from the beginning. He has tried to scale back the excesses of the Patriot Act and promises to review Bush’s sweeping claims of executive power. His rhetoric about moving beyond liberal-conservative fights appeals to libertarians and independents.

But buried inside the soaring eloquence of his speeches is a veritable laundry list of taxpayer handouts for every voting bloc, and he has even questioned the benefits of free trade. If he wants to appeal to libertarian and independent voters, he should show a tiny bit of independence from the Kennedy-Pelosi-Clinton-labor agenda. He could advocate Social Security private accounts as a way for low-income families to build wealth, or endorse school choice for children condemned to failing schools.
