blackagendareport.com - Obama’s ‘Center-Right’ Presidency: The Die is Cast: "In case there are any lingering doubts, it's official: Barack Obama has earned a well-deserved rating of 'center-right' politician, courtesy of the New York Times. The president-elect worked hard to pull himself rightward, after starting off with a reputation as a liberalish 'peace' candidate. Nobody calls Obama that anymore, not since he endorsed the bankers' bailout, put the economy's future in the hands of the same people that set the stage for financial meltdown, and let Bush's War Secretary keep the keys to the imperial armory. So let's give it to Obama. He won't ever have an identity crisis, again."
