Let me clarify what I said and explain exactly what I think this article or subsequent group of articles should be Broadly speaking this should be a list of political positions The list should come from statements Obama has made about his positions but also it can be derived from his legislative and executive actions When his legislative or executive actions differ significantly from his stated positions this difference should be briefly explored here significant differences would likely receive coverage in other Obama related articles so the exploration could form a brief summary of that analysis Absolutely nothing should be in this article unless it comes from a reliable source Political positions can not be derived from Obama s voting record I think that about covers it however I reserve the right to refine this later if I think of anything else or something useful emerges from our continued discussion I am extremely keen to solicit opinion from other editors before embarking on any radical changes
