Obama Appears To Move To The Center

We're beginning to understand why Barack Obama keeps protesting so vigorously against the prospect of "George Bush's Third Term". Maybe he's worried that someone will notice that he's the candidate who's running for it. Most presidential candidates adapt their message after they win their party nomination.

But Mr.Obama isn't merely "Running To The Center". He's fleeing from many of his primary positions so markedly and so rapidly that he's embracing a sizable chunk of President Bush's Policy. Wall Street Journal Editorial reports.

I am so pissed at Obama. He's a fucking sell-out. He's pandering to the religious nut jobs of the right. I would be ok if he really moved to the center by supporting gun rights or even improving the tax system but he has to come up with this bullshit. I withdraw my Obama support

And can I see some proof? PM me an article or something.

Grow up... this story is being floated by GOP supporters to try to divide Obama's supporters so McCain can grab up a few to make up for all the Conservatives who might not vote for him... They wanted you to believe Obama was a radical Islamist off the wall left wing radical... but now that the sensible truth of his message is out they're going, "Ha! Flip flopper centrist...!" This is all being exaggerated... that's why there are no before/after sound-bytes to drive home the point!

Its an expression. It is a reference to someone who gives up their core values in order to gain something.

Obama is a sinking ship.

"How do you get people to vote against their own self interest? That's the trick.

One way is to make people believe in a dream. That's what all of the mainstream politicians are doing--feeding that dream. Obama is feeding a dream--a dream of change and renewal. He's feeding a dream that the conditions that surround us--Iraq, the economy, the racial divide, the class divide in this country--that they are magically going to go away by voting for this centrist Democrat."

Barack Obama should go all the way and start advocating attacking Iran and reparations for the descendants of slave owners who were unjustly robbed of their property.
