To be honest, the guy is just a run-of-the-mill Keynesian Liberal. Nothing more or nothing less. In terms of domestic policy, he has been incredibly mediocre so far.
Nowadays everyone's a Keynesian!

I'm not convinced that the petulant demagoguery of supply-side ideologue John McCain would have been better. And in any case, that ship has sailed. Most people with any sense agree that a Keynesian model is what's needed in the short term anyway. The others are trying to revise history and claim that the New Deal failed (see Rush Limbaugh)--but you and I both know that history ain't on their side.
