| 156. What Professional Left (certainly not the media) |
|
Edited on Wed Aug-11-10 11:53 AM by cjbgreen
The public is told over and over by our news sources that the vast majority of people want the center. So who is this professional left because they do not work in the media. Obama was not elected by the center. I wonder what he really meant when he said "Change you can believe in?" I am not sure what the center is since the middle is dwindling. I think Gibbs' rant reveals the real Obama.
