Obama’s Centrism Could Drive the GOP Out of Business

Perhaps it is all a gigantic head fake. Maybe President-elect Obama is going to dash Left as soon as he utters the words “So help me God” next week. But so far, there seems to be the most astounding and sweeping repudiation of a president’s own base of support in the offing since … well, since forever.

The president-elect may end up pleasing conservatives more than McCain would have...

[Williams]

Right trillion dollars a year or more in insanely unnecessary spending. Centrism. Not.

[phoenix0468]

And having the conservative clergy perform the invocation at his inaugeration didn’t help with the pinkos either. Heck the fact he is having an invocation riles the lefties.

[DE88]

Whether I believe it or not is not the issue. He actually deatiled it in his second book. And so far he is doing exactly what he said he would. If that all comes to fruition, we shall see, but it is not a surprise to me so far.

[GauchoUSA]

Ha. ha. ha. Nice joke

[chainsaw]

There is no way he could be a centrist with all those leftist Clinton retreads.

[Carley]

Is everyone in the media smoking wacky tobacky?

[bert]

Obama is not in control. Princess Nancy has control. She will write and pass the moonbat agenda. Hussein, the Messiah, is merely a rubberstamp.

[chainsaw]

I just hope 4 years of liberalism will sicken people enough to ensure a conservative base for YEARS to come.

I don’t have to “sniff” for neocon supporters of Obama when the likes of Max “We are an Empire” Boot and Billy Kristol are shouting his praises from the roof-tops. I don’t spend all my waking hours monintoring what you say. What is my “take” on Ron Paul’s call for neutrality and en ending tax support for ALL countries in the Middle East? We are heading into bankruptcy and can’t afford it. How about you?

[KarlInOhio]

Like, say, Clinton’s “Centrism”

At least Clinton moved to the right. Well, actually stumbled to the right in a semiconscious daze after Newt gave him a beating in the 1994 Congressional election.

I'm not counting on the same to happen in 2010.

[Darkwolf377]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I couldn't believe it when I heard that stat (or one like it). But it reminded me that the audience for Limbaugh and the members of FR don't make up all conservatives, and there are plenty of people who consider themselves conservatives who don't come here, but do watch the alphabet network news.

Sigh...

[SolidWood]

I say lamenting the death of Hamas terrorists, and blaming it on the US (as if it were bad), shows Mr Paul’s true colors.

[N. Theknow]

0bama's centrism?

Is that anything like Helen Thomas' good looks?

[sergeantdave]

It’s not healthy to drink kool-aid by the barrel.

[blueplum]

Obama will not be saying “So help me God” according to this:

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Elections are won in the middle, and presidents govern from the middle. Just not exactly on the middle on absolutely every issue.
