Reply #8: The President's rhetoric is moving in the right direction [View All]

Which is a relief, because I was starting to worry about having a candidate in a partisan race who seemed to be ideologically opposed to partisanship.
The author is also correct when he points out that the policies and tone that are pleasing liberals are pleasing to the vast majority of Americans, the 'left' is not the outlier, it is the bellwether. This has been the case all through the long months of being told 'the center and the moderates' want more right wing, Eric Cantor style government. Apparently, as we knew, the 'independents' are not extreme right wingers, they do not adore the Tea, and they do not want to see capitulation to radicalism from the right anymore than we do.
For years now, the 'supporters' have insisted that the President can not please liberals because he is 'The President of All Americans' they like to say. But of course, no one can please all the people all the time, and clearly the way to please most Americans is to follow the principles of our own Party.
