Axelrod: Obama isn't moving to the center

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday that President Barack Obama’s support for a tax package that extends tax breaks for top earners doesn't mean he's abandoning Democratic principles.

“The president is who the president always has been,” he told CNN’s Candy Crowley on “State of the Union.” “He’s someone who’s trying to solve problems for the American people. He’s someone who’s trying to improve the lives of the middle class.”

He pointed out Obama’s early support for a tax provision that Republicans have championed, which allows businesses to defer their taxes on new equipment, to show that he’s supported Republican ideas in the past as well.

“The president is who the president always has been”

I believe that.

Is he channeling Dennis Green? "The Bears are who we thought they were!"

Good. I’d rather he just move out.

WE KNOW. Some are just finding that out.

There are several bad political moves the Kenyan has made, but with the public confirmation of this point this one will be the politically fatal worst move for him to do. Looks like Valerie Jarrett’s advice has carried the day in the WH.

He just telegraphed that his days are over come 2012 and so this should be something the the GOP leaders must take into consideration with any so-called compromises going forward.

America is not a Socialist, or more preferable to 0bama Marxists, country.

America is a center-right country and now that the people can see thru the facade built for him by the Media, and his uncompromising radical leftism now coming thru they will will move from a “troubled marriage” to “divorce” come 2012.

Get ready people, because this also means he doesn’t care about putting the people thru hell to advance his extremist agenda.

And as far as he’s concerned, we can take that last election message the people sent him and shove right up our electoral butts.

I certainly hope he remains a committed Marxist and continues to push his radical left wing agenda for the next 2 years. That is what the people rejected in 2010, and would reject again in 2012.

Obamadinejad’s own intransigence and a real conservative nominee will help us take the White House, and send Obama back to Kenya where he belongs.

I’d still like some definition of those “democratic principals”.

Haven’t ever seen any except “the end justifies the means” and total hypocrisy.

Of course, the Fuhrer, isn’t moving to the center! He’s going down the toilet bowl of history with like-minded dictators who lost it all in the end.

Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.

Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Of course he isn't going to move to the center... he physically cannot do so, anymore than one can move from Ludicrous Speed to Warp Speed without passing thru Ridiculous Sopeed.

Before moving to the Center, he'd have to move in stages, first to the Far Left, then to the Middle Left, then Left, then Right-of-Left, then Left-of-Center, and then... he'd perhaps be Center.

Moving to the center is not like Clinton moving to the center, he will continue to throw bullsh## at the American people, RINOS will help zero accomplish his radical legislation dressed in a fancy new box with new wrapping paper that has one meaning FOR US when he reads it from the telepromptor and anther when it is on paper and passed. YOU FOOL NO ONE!
