The author makes an assumption that is an error made by many. Just because I (and millions of others) voted for Obama and have life-long Democratic Party credentials does not translate to immediate left of center politics.
There are so many of us out here who equally distrust the far right and far left of the political extremes. We've just been through the hard right rule... and we can't even figure out where it's gotten us but we know it isn't anywhere we want to be. Enough with extremes and enough with experiments in government.
It is long past time for the political pendulum to settle to the center for a few years. Common sense, common curtesy, common goals and consensus - it's time to give the center a chance.
