The promblem with president is he not been willing to do hard graft in congress of trying to work with other side...Obama a centrist???...but I agree with the rest of your comments..Obama is more of a centrist than most think. His biggest problem is he doesn't know how to work with people. His inflated ego will not allow him to believe anyone else might have a good idea. He will never be able to reach across the isle when he calls Republicans his enemy.
Romney is and always has been a moderate. However, he's spent many years negotiating deals and making compromises. He's a business man that realizes it's not always about you, sometimes you have to give a little to get a lot.
As long as Pelosi and Reid have any amount of power, we'll never move beyond where we are now.
LOL!! Yes he's a centrist, he doesn't really like people challenging him. He'd rather play in the middle than have any opposition. He's a centrist because of his need to feel Godly, not because he likes it.
that said they not just very hard either to work with him and even one of them said they wanted to make obama a one term president after less then two years.
but look whoever in charge is going to find it difficult with a congress so divided.
