BT comment: At a recent appearance in Tampa, Obama stated rather emphatically that he was not an ideologue. The only part of the definition that I could possibly agree with him on is the term "blindly". I think that everything that he says and does is with great and sober purpose. I think that he is intentionally and forcefully implementing his brand of progressive socialism with all due diligence. That is why he is deaf to the cries of the electorate. If anything, the more he hears the cries of woe he himself is inflicting, the more it affirms his lefist mission while he is in office. Liberals thrive on choas and disruption. Where there is peace and prosperity they will endeavor to create tumult so that those suffering will turn to them for relief. Liberals need victims. Victims think they need liberals.
So is he stupid, misguided or just evil? Well, he is Harvard educated. He is an adult with a mind of his own. But that only leaves...
As for knowing the definitions of words... Maybe he doesn't really know the meaning of ideologue. Just like he doesn't know the meaning of transparent.
