Coherent Philosophical Stance can be seen in Obama

In 2005,  he asserted that "Republicans practice Social Darwinism,  a discredited economic policy".  In 2008,  during the primary elections,  his gas tax plan showed his "redistributionist philosophy"  (Richard Chappel,  Philosophy,  etc  Blog).  It seems that the more one researches and reads about Barack Obama,  the greater the pattern and intertwining of some very robust and coherent ideology,  based on sophisticated philosophical argument,  comes into view.  I like that;  I am almost awed by it:  Here is a sort of renaissance man,  and one had only been expecting a politician.
