Mr. "Center Right" Speaks: "Obama Agrees With Me"

By Big Tent Democrat

I am going to try and coin a new phrase - "High WORM" - a mixture of "High Broderism" and WORM (What Obama Reallly Meant.) Jon Meacham, Mr. Center Right hisself, shows us how it is done:

[I]f Obama governs as he ran—from the center—then there will be disappointed liberals and conservatives. The left may feel somehow cheated, and the right, eager to launch perpetual assaults on the new administration, could well find Obama as elusive and frustrating as the opposition found Reagan.

Hmmm. Reagan was a Centrist was he? Good to know. But seriously, what Meacham is saying is that Obama agrees with him. Never mind Obama's actual proposals - I defy you to find even one mention of Obama's statements on his plans for the country (and I could have sworn I saw a whole 30 minute infomercial broadcast nationwide a few days before the election, not to mention the standard Obamabot line - "check his website') - Mr. Center Right knows what Obama really meant. Just remember the rule - no matter what, progressives always lose.
