we are always arguing about Strawman Obama and policies he doesn't support, isn't doing, isn't on the Democratic platform. If we ever talked about Obama's real presidency then we'd have to admit his successes and note most of his failures are due to staying the course on conservative ideas... but once again we only hear about Strawman Obama in the press.
