Why Does Obama Keep Siding With His Party’s Left? asks Clive Crook of the Atlantic.
Um, this should only be perplexing to those who do not yet realize that Obama is a man of the left, full bore. During the campaign, there were plenty of signs: his 97 percent liberal National Journal rating; his rhetoric in favor of immediate withdrawal from Iraq; his relationships with left-wing bomb throwers (literally).
Not to worry, he’s a centrist, said many commentators. These same commentators are now befuddled at why Obama is pissing off his party’s centrist wing.
If only they had listened.
UPDATE: Sean Trende of RCP echoes my sentiment.
