In reply to the discussion: Holy Shite - did DUers hear OBAMA [View all]DFW
(54,268 posts)124. Obama is so good at this because he is (sitting down?) CONSERVATIVE.
Note--I did not say he is "A" conservative--not in the sense that word has been hijacked to mean on Fox Noise and National Hate Radio.
I mean "conservative" as it is defined in English--you know, that European language that is the dominant language of the USA?
"Conservative" as in taking a cautious, measured, thought-out approach to things as opposed to rashly reacting to them. It does not mean the opposite of "liberal." Far from it.
