The far left is mad at him about health care, New Orlenas, the War and so forth. He is between a rock and a hard place. NO president can last long being in the middle. And I think the far left is far worse an enemy than the far right. The far left knows how to destroy, enjoys destroying and will eat him up.
If he moves more to the middle,,a pipe dream I know but something he may do to stay in the WH with the perks, he will pick up some independents. So I think his ratings will stay where they are.
Whatever he loses on one side he gains on the other.
What I meant was no president can last long at either end of the spectrum. I didn’t mean he couldn’t last long in the middle. He has to get support from independents or moderates or what people here call rinos. A term I dont like because it makes conservatives easy to pick off.
Obama is the leader of the far left. He is a Marxist. Any so called “move to the middle” is just a transparent scam.
How exactly would the "far right" be worse in any way? I guess the preliminary question for you should be how you characterize the "right."
We have to completely reject the cleverly crafted falacy of a "spectrum" of political and social philosophy that we've swallowed hook, line and sinker. Conservatism, what I'm assuming you mean by "right", was once firmly, and rightly, the default worldview and foundation of American society, not "moderatism." Leftism is the usurper in this current crises, not just another philosophical world view to choose from. The closer you get to leftism, the more a free society suffers and rots.
Is it possible to be too conservative? Does a little leftism need to be incorporated into the mix to make life more palatable?
I liken it to physical health. Do we want to be as physically healthy as possible, or is a little bodily illness in the health "spectrum" acceptable and even desireable? Leftism is the "illness" in a free, Judeo-Christian society.
How in the heck can the “far right” be an enemy? Perhaps only to left-wing socialists.
