But so far I'd say he reminds me of Bill Clinton, except he has more appeal for many right leaning moderates and indes (and the right wing base HATES him, like Clinton but worse because of the racial element).
Relatively/Casually (un)informed moderates love him while many informed progressives become increasingly disenchanted with his (seemingly) DLC ways. The fact that his plans don't seem to be even close to fundamentally reforming the economy in a meaningful way as opposed to just reinflating the bubble doesn't help.
But his rhetoric is much better, particularly on foreign policy.
You say that you're a history teacher. How many of your peers would think that saying Obama is a "closet communist" automatically disqualifies you from membership in that profession?
All of them?
A "closet communist", presumably?
Now you're insulting history teachers everywhere. You've convinced me that you have no idea what communism was and that you are not a rational person.
I keep hoping that somewhere inside you there's a reasonable person trying to claw his way out. It's been a fruitless hope, because you have no idea how far from reality your perspective has strayed. But the good news is that I can no longer hold you responsible for your behavior.
