Obama: "Moving to the Middle"?
Please Don't Insult Our Intelligence
By Dave Andrusko
Shades
of Bill Clinton's "triangulation." Already we are being told in
some circles that pro-abortion President Barack Obama, arguably
the man who has occupied the furtherest position left of any
American President, is "moving to the middle." The difference,
we're told, is that it took a mid-term electoral shellacking for
Clinton to curb his enthusiasm, which eased the way to his
re-election two years later, while Obama is doing so in advance
of the November elections. (See

Let me end this week by just
making two quick comments. First, even by the gullibility
standard set by those who voted for Obama in the first place,
it's hard to believe that an alienated public is so clueless it
will conclude that a gesture here and a nod there is evidence
Obama is "racing to the middle."
Second, a rebuke here and there
of various Obama constituencies is meaningless. They are smart
enough to know it's all for show, and that (a) there are still
two more years in term, and (b) Obama can do a ton of damage
administratively and/or through the federal bureaucracy.
Our job is to keep our eye on the
ball, reminding people that Obama will never shirk from his
"duty" to advance the agenda of the Abortion Establishment. |
