Verbatim

On Obama's move to the center, in the Weekly Standard:

"It seems clear that, for the next two years at least, President Obama ... will work on triangulating to stay in office, à la Bill Clinton ... Republicans shouldn't be too intimidated by Obama's semi-convincing move. It's not as if Obama's center is a vital one, or even a coherent one. It's just a slightly better position than where he's been on the left."
