What do you expect from a politician, especially one from Chicago.

He's an Ideologue who is on a mission, and I think he's willing to do anything to push his agenda.

Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan

I think both of those presidents did a good job of working with the other side, willing to be practical.

I was thinking George Bush the Senior is another candidate. Don't know too much about the rest. I was pretty young when Carter was in office.

Ford (first president I can remember) is another one that would fit. He wasn't smart enough to have ideologies. That guy was a totally inept, but never intended to be president anyhow.

And how many of the last 40 or so U.S. presidents would such a description NOT apply to?[/b]

It's interesting.

If one is firm, one's an ideologue, Hell-bent on pushing one's agenda.

If one is flexible, then one has no courage of one's convictions and is a waffler.



Can't please 'em all, eh?

Just parse according to one's firm belief that one is always correct:

I am firm, you are an ideologue, he is pushing a sinister agenda...

I am flexible, you do not have the courage of your convictions, he is a flip-flopper...
