Reply #131: I beg to disagree-the middle elected Obama

And that is coloring his actions in many ways. He knows that the coalition that was cobbled together could disintegrate almost overnight. There are a handful of issues-gun control, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, universal health care-that could sink his chances at re-election, not to mention cause a change in the political landscape that would equal 2006, 1994 and 1976.
I say that we need to listen to him and weigh his actions as they pertain to the good of the country and the people. Remember, we are not sheep to follow anyone blindly-that would make us Rush clones...
