Before the 2008 elections, no one was louder than Sean Hannity in his tirades day after day, week after week about then Senator Obama. He cried about how one is a sum of their friends, and always pointed out the connections President Obama had to radicals, therefore, the President was radical.

I am a Republican, but I really don't listen to Hannity much becuase honestly, he's like a little Chihuahua who won't shut up. I admit, I would listen to him once, or twice a month, the times in between were usually the same thing over and over.

But I have to admit, to me anyway, Hannity was right on. Everyone knew President Obama was Liberal, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he would govern more towards the center, but he obviously is not, and is just as radical as Hannity made him out to be. Everyone ignored Sean, but Sean turns out to have sounded the alarm correctly in this case.

What do you think? Honestly.

Obama hasn't governed any further to the left than he campaigned on, if anything he is governing closer to the center than he campaigned on.

Look beyond Obama and Bush for that matter.

Look at the Legislative Branch of government.

Bush and Obama have one thing in common...

The 2006 elected House & Senate majority we still have today.
The problem is Pelosi & Reid and the elitist gang, pulling a power move.

Hannity did his best to convince his followers that Obama would be a radical leftist. Many have bought that particular flavor Kool Aid.

Objective observations prove Hannity absolutely wrong (Obama has proven over and over again through his actions that he is a centrist working to dig out of a deep economic hole), but why let the truth get in the way of a ratings getter? Inciting a mob is far more entertaining - which, in the end, is what these chatter heads are: entertainers. Never forget that.

Honestly? I think that's why such a solid plurality of us voted for him.

Don't like it? Deal with it. That's democracy in action.

You DO love democracy....don't you?

I think the evidence is clear - he was right, as were many others.

obama's basically the quintessential embodiment of a centrist.

And yes, Hannity doesn't even pretend to be an adult. He plays a character.
