Obama: Don’t expect any “sudden lurches to the left”
posted at 12:37 pm on October 27, 2008 by Allahpundit
Via Ben Smith. The money quote:
I don’t think we’re going to have time to engage in a bunch of crazy things that people, the McCain campaign specifically, has suggested we might.
Reminds me of when he told a crowd he couldn’t take their guns even if he wanted to, which some interpreted as a tacit admission that he would if he could and I interpreted as simply his way of trying to reassure voters who won’t be persuaded about his intentions. The same people will seize on this as evidence that the only reason he’s staying away from craziness is because he won’t have time for it, but I think it’s another case of him trying to reach fencesitters whose suspicions have made them otherwise unreachable: I.e., “The bottom line is that you’re not going to get socialism from us, even if you refuse to believe that I think socialism’s ‘crazy.’”
This comes back to the central question of The One’s character, whether he’s a radical sympathizer (the Corsi theory) or whether he’s a hyper-ambitious pol who was and is willing to shake any hand that can further his own power (the Freddoso theory). If Freddoso’s right and if moderation is in fact the best way to consolidate Democratic gains in November, there’s at least a chance Obama would govern from the center-left. If either of those things isn’t true, then good luck, America.
A rather important exit question via Geraghty: Which policies specifically does Obama not consider “crazy”?

The first thing that Clinton set out to change was gays being allowed to serve in the US military. I’m sure Obama will make that look centrist in comparison.
Hening on October 27, 2008 at 12:39 PM
How about the “crazy things” from his own mouth?
Perhaps he could address those?
Do find the time there Darth Barry.

He was more passionate in his far-left primary days than he is in his centre-left general days.

It’s not the timeline we’re worried about. It’s the ultimate goal.
If your policies are chosen because they advance a socialist agenda but are ‘tame’ enough that you can get them through without too much of a fight, I’ve got an issue with those policies.
JadeNYU on October 27, 2008 at 12:44 PM
HE NEVER DENIES HE WANTS TO!!!!!
The same argument he made with guns…”I don’t have the votes anyway.”
“I DON’T THINK WE’LL HAVE TIME.” Give me a BREAK!!!! You know you want to though, don’t you Barry…just salivating to go WAY left, you socialist, activist!
If he takes off his shirt I’m sure we’d see his Che T-shirt or some red star T-shirt that are all the rage with the kids these days.

Don’t do anything crazy now, Barry. In other words, don’t do as I say. Do as I don’t do?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 27, 2008 at 12:46 PM
Anyone who thinks he will govern from the center-left is a fool. Just take a look at his closest supporters; every single one is a closet Marxist at best. Every single democrat has turned on We The People! He will put William Ayers in his cabinet, mark my words! And that is just the beginning of the end if the dumbed down electorate puts him in office.

This is BS straight out of Rahm Emanuel’s talking points. Get all these conservative Democrats elected in Southern and suburban districts by promising no big lurches to the Left. Then force them all to vote however Nancy Pelosi wants them to vote, or face a primary challenge in two years.
The fact is that Obama will owe his election to black voters and the anti-war hard Left, period. He will not owe it to the Blue Dogs in Congress. He is not going to do jack to help them get reelected. His tax program will be rammed through and they are all going to have to go back to their constituents in 2010 having voted for the biggest tax increase in U.S. history, just liike all those poor slobs did back in 1994.
He talks about working with Republicans, while his campaign and the DNC are out all over the country demonizing Republicans, scaring senior citizens and women. Why the hell does he think Republicans are going to do anything but tell him to go to Hell?

What Happens to us if he loses? Has Anyone given a thought to the day after, if it doesn’t turn out the way the “Ones” behind Obama, want it to turn out. Who rises as fast and far in Politics as Obama, (hyper ambitious pol indeed) without some Powerful Support? That’s right ignore the man behind the curtain. Whoever is pulling the strings, won’t take a loss lightly. Perhaps we should gird our loins.

He’s said the first thing he wants to do is
sign a bill (f.o.c.a.) which strikes down every
piece of pro-life legislation in this country.
The democrats have already been braying
about all the things they’re going to do if
they get a super-majority in the senate. Good
grief, how can anybody believe that if the
dems control the legislative and executive
branches of the U.S. they won’t turn this
country into a quagmire of marxism?
Mulligan on October 27, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Of course he doesn’t want us to “expect” any radical policies. Then when he does implement them, we’ll be unprepared. Socialists want you to be asleep rather than organized against them.
rbj on October 27, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Is there any room for him to move farther left? It’s his sudden lurch to the center that should raise eyebrows.
Connie on October 27, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Nothing sudden because they won’t have time? This is a joke right? (as Biden would say).
The truth is he’s planning on having 8-10 years, a supermajority in Congress and prosecutors and the courts in his hands to implement his vision of societal change. The first change will be intimidation of journalists and consolidation of media power. Hell, that’s already underway.

That’s not exactly saying he WON’T engage in a bunch of crazy things. He just may want to so a few other things first. First he wants to restructure out economy…
This wasn’t exactly an impassioned defense against what McCain said. Sounded like he pretty much agreed.

Of course there won’t be a sudden surge. IF he’s elected, the 40-plus-year hijacking of the Democratic party by the Marxists will have been completed without anyone noticing a bloody thing. Nice and smooth, like nothing even happened at all.

Shy Guy on October 27, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Disagree. I think it’s yet another reminder that he is stupid, doesn’t know what he’s saying when he says it, and will say anything that comes to mind, knowing that he doesn’t have to clam up when stupid thoughts come to mind because the press fully has him protected.
In that last part, he has been vindicated. No public figure in my life has been so utterly guarded by a normally mercenary and vicious press as this freak.
Why is that? Why him? What is so different and special about him that the press has engaged in what can only be described as a vast conspiracy to filter out things that they believe will hurt him?
Hmmm.
Jaibones on October 27, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Trust not one damned thing that comes flying out of B.O.’s mouth between now and Election Day. It most likely is just another ploy of his to placate his growing legion of critics. Scumbag Barney Frank and his ilk have already spoken volumes of their intentions following Inauguration Day in January. Only difference between B.O. and Frank is that Frank intends to carry out what he says he is going to do.

Nah. he won’t be that stupid. The confirmation hearing would be a bloodbath. He will simply put some apparatchik in the bowels of the Department of Education who will steer millions of dollars of grants to Ayers’ “Small Schools Program,” and rewrite the Title I program to include all sorts of race-theory curricula written by Ayers.
We’re gonna have to watch every department, pore through every budget and appropriations bill, and look at the resume and background of every appointee if Obama is elected. There are enough of us around who know how this works; we’ve seen it before. There are a million ways to subtly shift the direction of policy and funding in a $3 trillion federal budget.
rockmom on October 27, 2008 at 12:57 PM
What, are you taking off and not sticking around for the Socialist wave?
Rick on October 27, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Guys you keep missing the point.
Look at the “conservatives” jumping ship. Look at their reasoning. “I can only hope that he won’t do what he claims to support.”
Obama is speaking to those conservatives. He’s speaking to the moderates (which he desperately needs) who hope and pray that he won’t do what he says he wants to do.
And now he’s saying “he can’t”?
Any journalist/reporter worth their notepad would immediately follow up with – “Why not? Do you not want the things you claim to intellectually support? The things you sold your campaign on?”
The leftists have screamed for 4+ years that Bush was out to destroy the constitution. Now you have a guy that has said he doesn’t even like the principles upon which the constitution is based and would like to see them changed (So much for a “constitutional scholar” eh?)
Hello?! Is this thing on?!
Skywise on October 27, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Obama’s a lying sack of sh*t. Now we know what all his college papers, (you know, the ones we aren’t allowed to see) are all about. His thesis was probably “How to be a Marxist in ten easy steps”.
If you know ANYBODY who’s on the fence, you need to confront them, and fast.

hoosiermama on October 27, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Ahhh… but you see… in HIS eyes, he is CENTRIST!
When your buddies are Ayers, and Wright, and Farakhan, and Odinga… then by definition you ARE more centrist than your Buddies… ergo… you are in the Middle…
It all depends on what you use as your reference for measurement.
Romeo13 on October 27, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Probably. Remember, Obama-sama considers himself (or, perhaps, would prefer to be seen as) a Centrist.

Grue in the Attic on October 27, 2008 at 12:59 PM
Hey, dickhead. Rather than read some liberal Democrats’ revision of his fully redacted student history from 25 years ago, why don’t we look at how he has actually conducted himself as an elected politician?
Wouldn’t that make more sense?
Yes, of course it would. And that history doesn’t speak so well of him. He’s radical leftist, a Marxist, a liar, and a corrupt Chicago politician, as fully documented by what we actually know about him.

A Axe on October 27, 2008 at 1:03 PM
Obama does not think he will have the time to engage in crazy things; what does that say about the case if he suddenly finds the time?
It is unbelievable to hear somebody asking for your support/vote saying that only lack of time will stop him from engaging in stupid things.
Anybody voting for Obama will get their just reward and they do so being fully warned by none other than Obama.
Lucm on October 27, 2008 at 1:03 PM
Oh, and Obama’s earlier explanation to why he seems so left before, was that because of teh evil neocon extreme right wing Boosh – he had to be so left to oppose this evil.
Still didn’t explain why he’s the most liberal senator in 2007. because if his explanation is true, the every single other democrat would be as far left as him. Because they would also have veered to the edge of the guardrail to be left to oppose teh evil Boosh. And of course this is just his fantasy, and his explanation of his own extreme liberalism is full of sh*t.

Remember what he wrote in his book about how to “handle” White people if you’re a black man. He stated be clean, quiet, calm, and don’t make any fast moves around them. Keeps the little white sheep calm and off guard. This video response is a perfect example of his philosophy in action. Quiet, calm, softspoken reaction to a very serious and justified fear of American voters. This guy should get an Academy Award, but NOT the presidency.

Limerick on October 27, 2008 at 1:12 PM
You’re argument is that he doesn’t want to take from a poor college kid to give to a homeless person.
However, once we establish that it is acceptable (even optimal) to spread the wealth from those who have it to those who don’t, who gets to define how much is enough and how much isn’t?
From the point of view of a homeless person living on the streets, a college kid that gets to go home to a nice warm dorm, eat a made-to-order pizza and watch some cable t.v. is living like a king.
JadeNYU on October 27, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Obama’s right; I refuse to believe him. Choose your metaphor: he’s the emperor with no clothes or a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I want him put down, figuratively speaking.
Have I missed something?
BuckeyeSam on October 27, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Bernie said it best in his book “Bias”. The left doesn’t think they are on the left, they think they are right in the middle.
That is what makes them so dangerous. They recognize their beliefs as being middle of the road, and maybe even a little conservative.
When he says crazy left, he has a different perspective then us. When you are on the way left, a little left is no big deal.
The question is, is he willing to shift to the right?…I don’t think so, not even a little. If Pelosi and Reid never considered it, why should he with a mandate of both houses?
right2bright on October 27, 2008 at 1:13 PM
I heard a similar story about a father and his collegiate daughter. She was planning to vote for Obama, and fully into the redistribution idea, and her father was trying to convince her otherwise. “How are you doing in English?”, he asked. She responded that it took a lot of effort, but she was getting an ‘A’ in the class. “How is Liz doing?” Liz was a friend in her class that lived in the same dorm. “Oh, Liz is always partying when she should be studying – she’ll be lucky to get a ‘C’ in the class.” was the response. “Well, why don’t you talk to the professor to have him give some of your points to Liz, so you can both have ‘B’s?” asked dad. Her response: “But dad! That wouldn’t be fair, I’ve worked hard for my ‘A”! Dad’s response: “How is that different than taking money from someone who earned it?”
Vashta.Nerada on October 27, 2008 at 1:16 PM
I get it. No “SUDDEN” lurches to the left — more like a systematic, steady, slow-but-sure BULLDOZE to the left with 100 more D’s than R’s in the House and a filibuster-proof senate…
Edouard on October 27, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Oh really? So, we’re supposed to believe and take at his word that the Democrats, who currently have a majority in Congress, aren’t going to push radical left positions? 70 Democrats are signed on to the Kucinich Department of Peace transformation bill. You’ve got Democrats all over the place pushing ideas like Socialism Take 401(k) or advocating higher taxes and massive defense spending cuts.
He’s going to stand up to all of those policy pronouncements? Hardly. That’s his core constituency. They’re going to want to see hope and change – and quick. Anything less would cause a revolt from the far left.

Which is why I think that there will be some form of violence no matter who wins next week. Obama loses- Detroit burns and Maxine Waters will reprise her “No Justice No Peace” role in Watts. Obama wins- the half of the nation that is to the right of both candidates will lose all faith in government and take matters into their own hands.
