    I was living in New York in 2008.

    I remember picking up a copy of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post days before the election, and reading the op-ed page.

    There were two pieces that particular day. One said a vote for Obama was a waste, because he was just a warmed over neoliberal who’d push conservative ideas weakly. The writer thought that instead of a wishy-washy softy it was better to have a real conservative.

    The other writer, on the same page, felt that Obama was a fire breathing leftist; a revolutionary who’d destroy America if he had half a chance.

    The GOP was throwing everything it had at Obama, regardless of whether it made any sense whatever.
