On the day after election day 2008 I remember trying to temper the Europeans enthusiasm with comments about how Obama would be a center-right candidate anywhere else in Europe (they were quite ignorant and silly about the election and the candidate)…And now two and a half years in I have to change that to Obama is a right-right candidate. America is so far to the right and out of the realm of reality that it’s just ridiculous now…Oh well…

On a slightly unrelated note:

By all means dispute it with facts…
