Non-Ideological

Here's what I think Obama means when he says he's "not an ideologue" or is in favor of "non-ideological" policy making:

"The facts have a liberal bias. I don't."

That is, he wants to convey that he's not against, say, privatization because of some sort of inherent Socialistic nature but rather because it doesn't work. Well, uhhhhh.... that's actually why people have inherent socialistic natures, me included. Hey, if it works, if he can convince people that believing what you believe because you believe it is factually correct makes you not an ideologue, instead of making you an ideologue, more power to him!
