Centering Obama

Barack Obama claims that critics who accuse him of moving toward the political center haven't been listening. In recent weeks, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has applauded the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the District of Columbia's gun ban, despite saying the opposite before the decision was rendered; effectively endorsed Bush's faith based initiatives that blur the distinction between church and state; and voted for FISA despite asserting his opposition to the bill during the Democratic presidential campaign. Apparently Sen. Obama, it isn't only your critics who haven't been listening.
