I agree. I think he's done a great job as president - but it could have been better, from my point of view. President Obama is actually MORE, not LESS, moderate than Candidate Obama.

Agreed.

On the surveillance state front.

Mr. Crow seems alternately astonished, angered and flattered by the government’s attention. “I’ve had times of intense paranoia,” he said, especially when he discovered that some trusted allies were actually spies.

That is what usually happens. During the election, candidates will try to appeal to their specific party base. Once they get elected, they will need to deal with members of the other party and interests that cross party lines.

I'm thankful for that... the further my President is from either extreme, the better I like it.
