It seems to be more than a political analysis and political propaganda on the right; Obama is certainly shifting toward the center as his apparent constituents are ready to blow their tops.
He shifted on the major leftist issue of tel-com immunity as Obama voted for the controversial bill. He was jumping up and down in opposition to that measure just a few months back. Another key example that proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Barack Obama is letting his conservative roots show is the fact that he has scolded the lefts most influential 527, MoveOn.org for their campaign of Gen. Betray Us, a blasting of Gen. David Petraeus.
Is this a customary shift to appease America's most influential voting block, American Moderates? Or is this Barack Obama's moderate coming out party? Another way to analyze this shift is to suggest that the left is becoming more of a fringe movement, changing their title to Progressive, a subconscious evolution. Even Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos blog wants his campaign donations back.
I guess the big question is; does the left have enough muscle to convince Barack Obama that he is making a terrible mistake turning his back on his most vocal constituents?
I am sure I will be honored with the TROLL DIARY tag once again for offering an alternative point of view in regards to the ever changing face of Democratic politics. But who cares.
