Obama: I'm not moving to center By John T. Bennett - 02/06/11 06:23 PM ET
President Obama on Sunday dismissed the notion that his administration in recent weeks has pivoted toward the political center to raise his approval ratings as the 2012 campaign nears.
After ushering through Congress measures to throw a lifeline to troubled U.S. corporations, stimulate the economy and dramatically overhaul the nation’s healthcare system, Obama has since cut a deal with congressional Republicans on taxes and called for a freeze on most federal spending.
But when pressed Sunday during a live interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly on what political analysts say is a clear sprint toward the center, Obama dismissed the notion with a "no."
"I haven't -- I didn't move to... I'm the same guy," he said.
When O’Reilly said the president’s critics call him “a big government liberal,” Obama replied that he inherited a nation on the brink of an economic crisis. That situation required his administration to take a number of “extraordinary steps” to avoid a severe economic depression, Obama said.

Obama is moving OUT!
"I haven't -- I didn't move to... I'm the same guy," he said....as the TOTUS wasn't available to feed him a scripted response. Thanks Sub-Driver.
Laz: "Yes, I would describe it the same way."
Obama you are moving out.
Oh oh - better tell Juan McLame. He’ll be crushed.

And he’s not suggesting he’s Reagan; and he’s not pretending to be a devout Christian.
Hanging with J-Lo and Antony is reaaaaaally what it is all about.
Barry is too intellectually lazy to move his thinking anywhere. Whatever others do for him, is what he is about.
No S***?
This guy has about as much use for the center a Vladimir Lenin.
He’d be called a Red Communist except for the fact that he’s black, and so PC requires that people don’t take on his Radical Hard Core leftist views.
Irony for me is that its his REDNESS what it is that I find most repugnant to me, I would NEVER care what his skin color is.
“Obama replied that he inherited a nation on the brink of an economic crisis”
The master of how to capitalize on a crisis and precipitate a perpetual crisis to capitalize on. Never waste a crisis! So he spent a wad and got what???
He is and assuring his religious followers he ain’t. Simple.
This was part of Obama's poorly worded attempt to blame Bush for all of his problems. Hillariously, he worded in such a way as if it sounded like he was saying the first two years of his presidency was a complete disaster... Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I'm sure this soundbite will find its way into some campaigns.
He doesn’t know where the center is, not even a clue!
McCain gets suckered by another Democrat. Some people never learn.
The White House can never get its message straight, so this doesn’t surprise me.
We at Free Republic have already said he wasn’t moving to the center. This is “news” to the morons at The Hill?
