That’s what Thomas Sowell concludes about Barack Obama here.

Obama reiterates all sorts of intellectually discredited notions, such as that we need stronger labor unions to help strengthen the middle class. Of course, those notions play well with Democratic primary voters who deeply believe that the country needs much more government intervention. I wonder if Obama will ever question any of the left’s sacred cows. Certainly not before the primary season is over. Probably not after, either. I doubt that he harbors any hidden doubts about the leftist orthodoxy since he has spent his entire life in the legal profession and politics. Not the kind of environment that would provoke much reading or thought into economic mythology.
