No. it isn't. That was the characteriztion that was pushed by the GOP about Obama's economic policies... but the reality has a candidate that has assembled a MUCH more impressive cadre of traditional economists to tune his policies, that as stated are preffered by a majority of professional economists (as published by both the NBER and the economist magazine)
