Is Obama a "liberal"? who knows, since the term is pretty meaningless
in US politics (currently being used by the Right to beat up the Left,
so that "liberals" now call themselves "progressives," using another
pretty meaningless terms). "Liberal" might best be defined in relative
terms: Obama is more liberal than, say, Dubya or William Kristol. But
that's still not saying much. Is Obama more liberal than Nixon?
