Ralph Nader is a old commie loon but at least he’s consistent. This kind of accusation from the left (who pays attention to Ralph Nader?) is the price Obama is willing to pay to appear ‘centrist’ and ‘tough’ on middle eastern dictators. He knows the left has no one else to go to (that matters) so he’ll risk some hostility from a few lefties to convince many Americans that he is is ‘a leader’. I don’t buy it for a second.

You nailed it, and that's my fear about all of this, that Zero will look "centrist" to the mushy middle.
