re: #216 Obdicut

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.

Could you reconcile the first sentence your post and the undeniable fact that there are many voters now registered with no party affiliation, that still lean “left or “right” as commonly used in our political vernacular? As to the rest my perspective goes far beyond (in time) the current administration that did move right in policy in the face of reality, IMHO.
