That is how President-elect Barack Obama describes himself:
Ever wondered how Barack Obama sums up his philosophy?
"Pragmatic progressive".
That's how the president-elect dubbed his philosophy on Thursday while introducing Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as his pick to head the Democratic National Committee.
"Tim and I share a philosophy," said Obama. "It's a pragmatic progressive philosophy that was at the heart of my campaign and will be at the heart of this administration."
