    it's amazing to me obama is disliked by moderate conservatives. if you look at the deal he made originally with boehner and some of his executive orders and keeping the oval office with a ton of power, he's very much a 90s republican. at his best he is as liberal as clinton, but most of the time he could be seen as a moderate conservative from the pre-bush years.

    only in this completely fucked up post-9/11 media orgy would obama be considered a liberal. he's hardly a democrat. if you ran a moderate republican against him there'd be hardly a difference - so thus you have the republicans all running insane nutjob candidates who pander more than they preach (which is saying quite a bit).

    • +1, Obama is totally a moderate. tho he ran on liberal pretensesBonSeff
    • I think what happens is that a republican in the center will lean right pretty hard, he'll have to pander to the extremes in his party... most of the solutions to our problems are somewhere in the center, it's just sad to see both sides refusing to balance upholding their principles with getting something done.zarkonite
