re: #209 Daniel Ballard

In the absence of another shorthand reference you will still see me use left and right as understood terms by almost everyone here. Politics is complicated but simple straightforward posts are blog reality.

I will understand, as nearly everyone does, that ‘left’ and ‘right’ means “Democratic” and “Republican & worse”. So saying Obama has moved to the right isn’t true. He hasn’t become any more of a Republican in any way. He’s practically had to work with an extremist, fanatical GOP legislature, which has limited dramatically what he’s been able to do.
