“Obama moving to center on some issues”

I somehow find it extremely challenging to picture Obama in the ‘center’ of the political spectrum.

Obama makes Hillary Clinton, by comparison, seem conservative!

Talking equally out of both sides of your mouth is not the same thing as moving toward the center.

Have I got this right?

Nailed it. Obama is centrist only in the sense that he is midway between Hitler's national socialism and Stalin's soviet socialism. He's anti-American, anti-capitalist, and in every way in the center of what our media loves.

A) He wants to get reelected and also not have his party get crushed in the mid-terms

B) He cannot get all of the leftist votes he needs so he is willing to move on some issues

a pragmatic politician

which also means an unprincipled whore

It was rumoured this would be a ploy used in the near future.

Kinda like a turd rotates to the center of the bowl after the flush handle has been pulled.

Not so much for an "Upper Deck" though...
