re: #153 Charles

I don’t disagree with the right’s shift to the right (in some segments). However, I think Obama campaigned as a moderate and has shifted to the left. His words remain crafted and tempered, but the big-government, big spending, big deficit, tax hike policies are standard progressive-left goals. In fact, the progressive caucus has string-pulling power and congress has definitely shifted more openly left.
Code pink has piped down because, for them, it was all about the industry of Bush-hate. IMHO.
