The fact that some people are speculating, and perhaps letting their imagination run away, is a direct consequence of the (h)opacity of the president. If he would come out and say what he means and do what he says, there wouldn’t be such speculation. Absent any reason to believe what he says, you fall back on his past, and his connections to racists and terrorists. This isn’t unreasonable under the circumstances.
Liberals didn’t like Reagan, but they never got too carried away, because he was very straightforward. He said what he was going to do, and he did it. There were no surprises, and no suspense in those years.
Imagination is always fed by absence of information. What little hard information we do have at this point supports the thesis that 0bama is the most radical leftist president in history. It’s up to him to stop playing coy, and give us a solid reason believe that that’s not the case.
