CB: "Finally, you are ignoring the results of the 2010 elections. They have
put the whole spectrem way to the right in a way that Obama cannot
ignore , despite all you phony left pundits' claims to the contrary."

[WS:] Yup.  This is the 800-pound gorilla in the room that most on
this list do not want to mention.  I think O is quite responsive to
his perceived constituencies, it is just the the left is not among
them.  And it is not there not because O chooses to ignore it, but
because its impact on electoral outcomes is negligible.  Believing
otherwise borders on delusions of grandeur.
