Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Will Continue Obstruction If Obama Is Reelected

I think you're right.

Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton.  It's why even his 'most ardent admirers' still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican­.  He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.  He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.  About his own political appeal, Obama has said, “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”

Those who believed Obama was a liberal were given much help by Obama and the media (as recently as last month, I heard him referred to as "liberal" and "progressive" by anchors on MSNBC and CNN).  

Back in early 2008, when Candidate Obama talked about admiring Reagan and what he wanted to emulate about him,  "I think RonaldReag­an changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, RichardNix­on did not and in a way that BillClinto­n did not", does anyone seriously believe that he was saying that he wanted to go even farther right of the BushCheney administra­tion he was coming in after?

The shorthanding we do with these labels doesn't help.  We hear he's "a moderate", which means different things to different people, depending on where they're standing themselves.  "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat."  Do you consider Blue Dogs to be moderates?  I don't.
