Hanson:
... Pundits of both parties now fault Obamas 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 years messiah has devolved into this years whatever it takes of a cynic.
Ping !

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.
