Obama: "Republican voters often agree with me"

Huh? It's just another whopper from President Obama. From the Daily Caller:
Obama was asked, “So how are you going to talk to Republicans differently if you are reelected?”
“Republican voters, if you ask them about my particular policy positions, often agree with me. So there’s a difference between Republicans in Washington and Republican and Republican-leaning voters around the country,” Obama said in a Parade Magazine reader question-and-answer session published on Friday.
“I think that after this election, we’ll be in a position to once again reach out to Republicans and say that the American people have rendered a judgment, and the positions we’re taking are well within what used to be considered bipartisan centrist approaches.”
“When you look at the policies I’ve promoted, they used to be considered bipartisan, mainstream ideas. What’s changed is not me. What’s changed is where the Republican Party’s gone,” he said.
"Once again reach out to Republicans"? As in "I won, I will trump you on that"? Or as in Obamacare, which was shoved down our throats without any GOP support?
But no, if you're thinking Obama and company are radical lefties, well, you're just confused. Obama's a centrist. Got that, independents? (Pay no attention to his passion for big government, his executive overreach, his takeover of the health care system, his contempt for religious liberty and freedom of conscience, his attacks on business, his radical views on abortion and the sanctity of life, etc. Nothing to see there.)
If Obama wins, brace yourselves for the new flexibility.

Maybe on the type of beer he drinks.
That’s about it.

He is absolutely right, which is why the RINOs must go as well.

Water is wet
Obama said of his plan to fix the financial crisis that if I dont have this done in three years, then theres going to be a one-term proposition.
Yep! Lots of things on which to agree with Obama

I agree that it’s better to go play golf on Sundays than to go with a Wookie to listen to Rev Wright.

Are these the same life long since Abe Lincoln republicans often call Rush Limbaugh and star in democrat campaign commercials?

Someone told Obama to borrow Mitt's etch-a-sketch and make like a severe conservative?
There is more BS going on in this election than at a fold up traveling carnival.

Sure we do. For example, Al Greene is a great vocalist.
I’ll think of something else, give me a few minutes.

And in what parallel universe does THAT happen?
Delusion is such a lovely treat for the senses.
But only if the real world never intrudes.

It isn't what he's smoking, it's what he's wearing.
It's called Eau de Himself.
