Obama’s approval ratings will go up even more if he moves to the center, which he has shown he is capable of doing. So if he starts dealing with the biggest problems in a responsible way, he will not only be more popular, he will be a BETTER President.

He’s already in the center, if you don’t count all the crazies.

The problem is thus:

You have portions of the Republican electorate in America who are uneducated, paranoid, and completely incapable of understanding the basics of how government functions, so trying to please them is madness. They freak out about taxes yet don’t understand how TAX BRACKETS FUNCTION. I understood how tax brackets functioned when I was nine years old.

They’re not credible, they don’t make any sense, they repeat lies like obeisant drones. For purposes of politics, they should be treated like the children they are, and their “ideas” should be discarded as gibberish. See: health care debate.

And Obama will NOT be a better president if he takes these peoples’ ideas into account. it’s like cooking a meal, and then just tossing a bunch of garbage water into the soup.
