Obama's Conservatives Hope...

President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves.

—Christopher Buckley

I sure hope Obama is more open, centrist, sensible—dare I say, Clintonesque—than his liberal record indicates, than his cooperation with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid portends.

—Ken Adelman [1]
More like blind hope. Obama ran on a leftist platform until he had to face the nation, then he turned towards the center. Obama has been a leftist since he started in politics. I don't think the last 8 years of milquetoast Bush is any justification for conservatives to throw away principle for emotional fulfillment.
