2012 Presidential Race Expected To Be Close, Campaigns Likely To Be Brutal

You seem to be in the "Obama is playing 3D chess"-bra­nch of "Obama's most ardent supporters­".   In that group are those who claim he's a liberal.

Others of Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' claim that he's a centrist (their definition of center is actually right-of-c­enter). They say that he always has been and that those Democratic voters who voted for him because they believed him to be a populist, a liberal, weren't listening (forget the fact that Obama ran an aggressive progressiv­e campaign, and to the left of Hillary). And, they say, conservati­ves who insist Obama's a liberal are either stup!d or so far right and unpolitica­lly savvy, they don't even belong sucking up space and time on political discussion threads.

To those who thought that during the 2008 campaign, Obama was a moderate and wasn't trying to deceive anyone, what did you think he meant when you heard him saying during the campaign that people had to stay involved after the election, that they couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect that he would do what they had hoped. That "there are powerful interests working against what the people want, and if you want me to do your bidding, you would have to make me do it".

What did you think he was talking about? Did you think he was just being honest, admitting he could be corrupted? Did you think he was trying to deceive centrists, corporatis­ts, into believing he was really on their side but liberals and progressiv­es could get him to keep his promises to them if they sat on him, kept after him?
