For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Is Obama pushing Americans to the right?

Add it all up, and America seems to be responding to the leftward shift in Washington much as they did the last time Democrats controlled Congress and the White House. For those that have forgotten, voters could only stand two years of unrestrained Clintons before they handed the GOP a surprising victory in November 1994, control of both houses of Congress for the first time in four decades. With this in mind, if people continue to respond to Obama’s actions by becoming more and more conservative, Republicans will be well-served by ignoring the eulogies coming from those who don’t have the party’s best interests at heart and quickly make as hard a right turn as their steering wheels will allow.
