-clip- Echoing the reports that he's buddies with David Brooks, it looks and sounds like Obama's cultural and political assumptions are that the US is a center-right nation... under these conditions he's, perhaps tragically, nevertheless still likely to win in 2010 because the Republicans seem bound and determined to run insanely far right candidates since - no matter how much he steals their agenda - they see Obama as a Black Democrat, and therefore far left, socialist. Oy.

CB: He did give Stevie Wonder an arts award and said that he and Michelle courted to his music. Hey, maybe he has more than one "buddy". Ya think, maybe ? :>(
O's pretty smart, so he probably thinks the US is a center nation. I mean afterall, he has to have noticed that the nation just voted in its majority for _him_, a liberal basketballplaying Black person from Chicago, New York , LA and Hawaii, which a center-right nation wouldn't do.
