So, you are saying he isn't "right of center" then?There was no Socratic method intended. My questions were straightforward. One cannot debate unless one understands opposing views. We don't have sophomores, so I wouldn't know.
I think one thing that many seem to have in spades here, is the readiness to believe the worst of a post and jump to uncharted conclusions. Perhaps it comes from the Humpty-Dumptyness of the average American and his understanding of words.
Obama should have taken a controlling government interest in the banks. No private companies are going to invest in them and at present he is throwing good money after bad. Nationalise them. Fear not. It will happen.
Of course he should introduce a fairer tax system. I am not familiar with your system at present other than you pay a huge amount more than we do. So those who can, should and those that cannot, shouldn't.
Medicine in the US doesn't need socialism it needs a bloody Atomic bomb. The present system, as I understand it, is absolutely scandalous. Take away the onus from employers, scrap the parasitic insurance companies and let each and every citizen contribute. Employers would be more willing to hire and more willing to honestly meet their financial obligations to society.
Power must be wrested away from those who believe they have bought the right to govern. Hold those who have dragged you down accountable.
Reduce military spending, supply better education, get real. Learn to lose a little.
Lose your imperialist ideas. Stay at home and sort out the mess that once was proud America.
You did not answer the very direct question. In what ways do you believe he is "right of center"?
As for whether or not it was a sophomoric attempt at the Socratic Method, well... I present the idea that we have already participated in discussions whereupon you would be able to determine whether or not I met the criteria of an uniformed "humpty dumpty" American or not, thus the inane questions about how I thought the path toward nationalizing banks might be socialistic and thus not "right of center" was a particularly sad attempt at it.
The question asked of you was not a litany of things you believe would "improve" the US, it was quite directly, "In what way do you think Obama is 'right of center'?" as you had stated before.
One thing I know, I do not want to replace the current health care in the US with the system developed by the Brits or by the Canadians. I especially do not want a governmental entity developing a "best care" scenario whereupon health care is effectively rationed.
