YOU JUST KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE BOWELS OF THE WHITE HOUSE...:

Obama begins move to the middle (KEITH KOFFLER | 8/12/10, Politico)

If Gibbs is purposely picking fights with the left, it’s not too surprising. In fact it’s consistent with the White House effort to position Obama closer to the center — where he traditionally needs to be for a reelection victory in 2012.

That’s where former President Bill Clinton went after the voters threw the congressional Democrats out of power in 1994. He won reelection by a comfortable margin.

Now Obama, excoriated by conservatives as a free spender who wants to socialize medicine and coddle U.S. adversaries, is starting to remake his image in the same fashion.

...Dick Morris is sucking a hooker's toes.
