Hanson:
... Pundits of both parties now fault Obama’s style of governance. Public protests express disapproval over out-of-control federal spending and borrowing, and the idea of state-run health care.
So fairly or not, it seems like a panicked President Obama is abruptly scrambling to do what he should have done over a year ago.
But the problem is that a now jaded public believes that Obama is changing both course and tone not because he wants to for the country, but because he is forced to for his own survival.
In other words, the “hope and change” of last year’s messiah has devolved into this year’s “whatever it takes” of a cynic.

I don't think Obama embraced triangulation, at least not yet. It's more like a slight of hand to take the attention away from his real goal of "Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America" . He still might become a Clinton style pragmatist, but I don't see it.
