Those guys don't understand politics. Obama has to show that he is a Presidential candidates for all of the people. He cannot just rely on liberal left wing voters. He must attract independent votes. He did appeal to the liberals by campaigning of overhauling NAFTA. That's during the primary. I doubt the he will do that as President. He might tweak a little but not overhauling. He might demand strict safety compliance for Mexican truck entering the US, and that those trucks meet emission standards. Therefore, all his move to the center is just to attract votes. No President can fulfill all the promises he/she made. That is just impossible. Obama has to be a politician if he wants to capture the WH. I don't agree completely with Obama, for example I am pro-life, but that is just one of a few issues that do not mount a mountain to vote against him since McCain is 10 times worse than Obama. Even if Obama turns out to have 3 nipples on his chest, I will still vote for him.
