I don’t think BO “ran as a moderate” as VDH states.
a six-year old kid could see through his BS—even last year when he tried to gift-wrap it a bit.
God damn the useful idiots who fell for it......
I’m with you on this. Obama was remarkably open about his socialist plans all along. He never ran as a moderate.
He ran to the left of Hillary in the primary. In the general election, he ran as a centrist and pragmatist. He counted on the ignorance of the moderates and independents. Now, we all pay the price for their ignorance.
A Pragmatic Look at Obama's Pragmatism
Obama came into office swearing he was a pragmatist who would support any approach that worked.

Alas, there's another way of reading recent events. Critics always claimed that Obama was a very left-wing fellow who was never the centrist he claimed to be.
Google Obama centrist pragmatist. Google claims 189,000 hits.
