He's a neo-Ho Chi Minh

Neo Cons work on the ideal that the success of free market capitalism will spread democracy to the world. They also work on the idea that military force is always a valid option if not the first option in dealing with rogue nations.

By all Conservative accounts, Obama is none of those things. Ideology is not your strong suit. You don't really know what a Neo-Conservative even is.

Try reading Francis Fukuyama's "The Last Man" for economics of Neo-Cons and John Bolton's "Surrender is not an option" for their foriegn policy views.

EDIT: 3 thumbs down for giving facts? That is exactly what Neo Conservatives believe! Read books by Neo-Cons and judge for yourself. My head hurts.

If Bush is a Neo-Con then Obama is one.

If Obama is a liberal then Bush is one.

John J is not the brightest but for your question, he does have neocon traits as you mentioned but all of those are also progressive traits. neocons and progressives are both statist and share many similarities.

No, Obama is not a neocon. You appear to have your politics confused. You think President Obama is a neocon, and you think Jefferson would approve of Reagan. Get real kiddo

Finally you got something right.
