listen. he picked a middle-of-the-road right-leaning democrat because he is a middle-of-the-road right-leaning democrat. he has never at any point claimed to be the progressive that some have. he's on record calling himself a conservative over and over. you can look this up. it's in the public record.
and, he's consistent. this exchange exists, in multiple sources.
media: the right is claiming you're some kind of socialist.
obama: that's ridiculous. i'm a conservative.
i'm a conservative.
it's not some kind of conspiracy theory. it's right in front of you. it always has been. you were just blind to it for some inexplicable reason. in fact, it's probably the reason he beat clinton in the nomination. and, considering that he won states like virginia and north carolina, it's also probably the reason he got elected.
but, the media narrative is immutable. it has been for years.
i remember watching a whit house press conference about a year ago where the media was nailing pretty-boy josh (that's meant to be purely descriptive, and as a consequence of not wanting to open a tab to google his last name) about obama being lax on illegal immigration. the entire exchange existed in a total fantasy reality. obama has deported more people than anybody else. if you look into this, you'd be appalled. but, the media has it's set of talking points and no amount of evidence or shift in policy can ever change them. the media is stuck in 1985, and it's unclear what will get them out.
so, just stop with the nonsense, ok? his supreme court nominee is not reflective of some elaborate game plan that will see fruition thirty years from now, or something. it is reflective of obama's political positions.
and, you've got less than a year to get your head around it before he's come and gone without cluing in.
