<<<I was talking about Obama who is being criticized by both the left and right. Since there is an absence of Center these days, Obama should be considered un-American.>>>

I don't get it. By any logic, Obama should be considered the center. There are people to the left of him and there are people to the right of him - ergo - Obama occupies the center.

Obama is defining himself as the centrist - only people don't seem to grasp what he is trying to tell them. But, I am optimistic, people will get it - the sooner the better.

I think you are right about Obama being in the center, but I am not wildly optimistic about the majority of people coming to see this as so.
