Yeah I heard about this... but honestly, it's one Democrat saying something stupid in a back room.
I genuinely think Obama's move to the center will be his saving grace come November 2012.
What move to the center? All he has been showing himself to be so far is spineless and nothing more that a political chameleon. Now his party's progressive base is pissed off at him. As far as I'm concerned, his chances at reelection are much less likely than Clinton's after 94. Clinton had the magical touch like Reagan had for his party of compromising his principles, but still being beloved by his base. Obama appears to be very academic in his approach to governing, and doesn't appear to have the ability to empathize with the average voter like Reagan and Clinton did. His saving grace will only be if Palin or Huckabee are the nominees for president, and that is a very big if.
