Don't get whiplash trying to follow him

Every four years, usually a bit earlier in the season than this, we all get to watch the spectacle of watching the Democratic Presidential candidates turn hard to the right. Up till now, they lie to the Democratic base about what a wonderful lefty President they'll be. They do this get the base of the Democratic Party, which is far to the left of the candidates, to give them the nomination.

But, by this time in every cycle, we get to watch the Democratic Presidential candidate, with their nomination secured, turn hard to the right, never to be seen again on the left side of the political spectrum.

Is Obama turning Right?

Its like watching Lucy con Charlie Brown into trying to kick the football. Same result every time.

I don't think he ever really drove on the left side of the road; he was only associated with it because he ran over a few people there...
