No Fred, Obama is a Marxist and wants to get re-elected.
But in his second term, all hell will break lose. He will set the seeds of Marxism and repression in his first term (Fairness Doctrine, grass roots harrasment of enemies, push for gun bans, creation of free health care, confiscation of private property ... but all in small doses).
Then in the second term, he will close the deal and set us up as a combination of the USSR/Germany/France/Cuba.
No, he’s not a centrist. He just doesn’t have his hands on the reins of power, yet. As soon as he does, we’ll see the real Obama. He’s not going to tip his hand prematurely.
Is Fred Barnes insane?
The more you hear what the guy says, the more you realize he has not a clue what to do. You can tell the hundreds of “experts” are heavily collectively advising him and after it goes through the the obama political intestines, well, you know what comes out the end.
Needs a BARF alert.
“THE OBAMA JOLT”

drink, like Red Bull!
Why not?
but knowing him, I’d probably get sued.....
Fred Barnes is dreaming. The market isn’t reacting to the future, because the future isn’t here yet.
In other words, the market reacts to what’s certain today.
If the market was reacting to some unknown, inside information that Joe public investor isn’t aware of at the same time as any other trader, that would be illegal. It’s called insider trading.
Hussein will encounter too much flak if the markets continue to drop. This is not '29. We now have a huge middle class; the country is now more right-leaning than it was in the sixties.
I believe Hussein's MO has always been to say what he needs to say to grab power. It will be a hard pill to swallow for conservatives if they see him stealing their ideas but hopefully the majority of the country will clearly see his hypocrisy.

Drivil like this Barnes article is the reason why I don’t read the Weekly Standard. Cristol farts and Barnes sniffs it.
It is not what he does out in the open that bothers me so much. It is what he does behind the scenes, a la Clinton’s Los Alomos security breaches, FNMA subprime, stacking Federal agencies with committed leftists that undermine future conservative administrations, deals cut with foreign countries or groups (Muslims or Communists) that undermine the interests and culture of our country. That is where Slick did the most damage.
No, he is a communist that knows he will be impeached if he tries to implement laws that are to radical and strict. However, he will chip away at our freedoms as stealthily as he can, hoping to be re-elected in 2012.
...are media are the STUPIDEST people imaginable. Have you seen Obama’s wish list? http://www.barackobama.com/index.php There is nothing centrist on it.
Fred Barnes’ discernment meter needs repair; it’s constantly pegging on zero.
Fred got a taste of the Obama Kool Aid during the campaign, and now he’s addicted, but he denies it like any addict does
No.
