Obama's centrism shouldn't be a surprise

Anyone who is surprised by Obama's centrism hasn't been paying attention.

The real surprise here is that anyone thought that Obama was the most progressive of the Demacratic presidential candidates. Kucinich, Gravel and Edwards are much more progressive (and also unelectable in a general election).

I'm just happy that we elected someone to the left of Torquemada.

An alternative

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the ideal for which it stands: one nation ruled by law, with liberty and justice for all.
