It’s a matter of nuance. OK, and lesser evil.



Says Lara Jakes of the AP, who actually has nothing to say about his domestic agenda.

Elsewhere it is reported he will sign off on a plan to cut our nuke arsenal by around 25%.

His proposed military budget is already too small for the Republicans, people like Ron Paul aside.

But he is hawkish about al-Qaeda and Muslim terrorism, despite the neocons thinking he is not sufficiently a friend to Israel and the Islamophobes thinking he is not sufficiently an enemy to all Islam.

He pursues war related leaks more aggressively than Bush, Guantanamo is still open, he is still holding people he does not want to release and does not want to try, and he is the man who killed not only OBL but al-Awlaki – and his son.

Still, and not despite Gitmo, the forever prisoners, the drones, the plumbing, and the dead US traitor al-Awlaki, he is and has been better than any Republican, the isolationist Paul aside.

And better than most Democrats.

Especially better, and much better, than Hillary.
