the President has done a reasonably good job of trying to occupy the middle ground on really difficult issues.

You do realize that he has casted zero, yes zero vetos since taking office.

That is not left, right, or center.

That is spineless, particularly when the Republican Congress is spending money like drunken sailors on left-wing social programs.

Republican politicians need to remember that too many of us voters are not happy with a list of things that they keep supporting

Well, I think that is the point I am trying to make. He has stayed in the middle, period. And, although it may be causing main street conservative angst (eg. amnesty) his political calculations may be elegantly astute. If he stands in support of amnesty does he not engender the support of business (money), Republican elites and the ever growing Hispanic community? So, where do the single issue conservatives go? Do they vote democratic? Not likely.
