Obama Conervatives Part IV
2008 October 29
Francis Fukuyama, a prominent contributor to the formation of the Reagan Doctrine declared his support for Barack Obama in an article for The American Conservative. Here is part of what he wrote:
McCain’s appeal was always that he could think for himself, but as the campaign has progressed, he has seemed simply erratic and hotheaded. His choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was highly irresponsible; we have suffered under the current president who entered office without much knowledge of the world and was easily captured by the wrong advisers. McCain’s lurching from Reaganite free- marketer to populist tribune makes one wonder whether he has any underlying principles at all.
