Tell me another one, Jon

Sure. The ruinous "stimulus" package (that failed to stimulate anything), the feverish attempt to apologize for America in as many countries as he can visit, the attempt to socialize medicine, the systematic attempt to marginalize opponents and the ongoing war with Fox News... these are all the hallmarks of a president who is "governing from the Center."

Uh-huh. And Jon Meacham, the author of the article linked to above, is a moderate, too.

Right. Or perhaps I should say "Left. " Moderate like Keith Olbermann is moderate.

Meacham's piece begins with an elaborate attempt to establish his own centrist bona fides. He protesteth too much- and in any case, Newsweek- the publication for which he writes- has long since lost any reputation as anything but an organ of Far Left opinion. The ongoing attempt by the Leftist media (however hard they try to masquerade as a bunch of Centrists) to portray POTUS as a responsible, sober middle-of-the-roader simply lacks credibility for anybody with an ounce of objectivity and who reads a newspaper, watches the news on TV, or follows politics on the internet.

The country isn't buying it. We are not such rubes as to swallow the idea that this president is anything but a Nixonian partisan and a fierce ideologue. And it is a measure of the actual distance of people like the author of this article that they are able to present President Obama as such with a presumably straight face.
