What issue will Obama move to the center right on next?

    

I won't say flip-flop because the faith-based initiative announcement should have been expected after all Obama has done to make sure people know he is not Muslim but a Believer-in-Christ. However, there have been reversals of stances (NAFTA, gun control laws, the death penalty, and FISA).

Reversals or flip-flops have a way of ending aspirations for the presidency, which we saw happen with John Kerry. John McCain has flip-flopped significantly but he's gotten a free pass from the media to do that.

For Barack Hussein Obama, the "Muslim" who wears madrassa clothing with a father who has roots in Kenya, as Jon Stewart puts it "The Baracknophobes", the media will not treat his shifting in the same way as they have treated McCain.

This movement to the center right shows no signs of stopping (especially when progressives/liberals are afraid to interfere with his moves). What will he move to the center right on next?

Bush tax cuts can continue so long as wealthy agree to pay other increased taxes
Crack down on illegal immigrants engaging in identity fraud, possibly domestic terrorism
Creationism can be taught alongside evolution in science class
Improve police law enforcement against gangs with three strikes sentencing law
Provide corporations the opportunity to compete with government on Social Security
The surge is working. We must remain there until political leaders can keep Iraq secure.
Work to reform the PATRIOT Act so it can be more effective against terrorism
